Examined is the modern migration policy of France with regard to the immigration of students, professional and scientific personnel, as well as immigration by the status of “talents”. A brief description of the current state of these migration flows is given. The measures taken by the current government to change the French immigration policy, to make it more effective, are analyzed. The features of student mobility and the problems of studying in universities in France, including coronavirus pandemic period, are considered. In particular, such aspects as the impact of the pandemic on the transition to new forms of education (distance learning), changes in the content of education, the prospects for student exchanges are analyzed. Statistical data on changes in main migration flows during the coronavirus pandemic in France is given. It is concluded, that pandemic has significantly limited population migration, including student exchanges, immigration of qualified personnel to France, transferred training, cooperation and contacts to a remote format, indicating the victory of the digital economy and new technologies. Despite this, the idea of attracting young, talented and successful people to the country, their integration into French society remains an absolute priority of the French immigration policy and is seen as an opportunity to mobilize the creative and professional potential of the state.

The Impact

To assess the recent history of taxonomy in Canada and the impact of DNA barcoding upon the field, we performed a survey of various indicators of taxonomic research over the past 30 years and also assessed the current direct impact of funds made available for taxonomy through the DNA barcoding NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) network grant. Based on results from surveys of three Canadian journals, we find that between 1980 and 2000 there was a 74% decline in the number of new species described and a 70% reduction in the number of revisionary studies published by researchers based in Canada, but there was no similar decline for non-Canadian-authored research in the same journals. Between 1991 and 2007 there was a 55% decline in the total amount of inflation-corrected funds spent upon taxonomic research by NSERC’s GSC18 (Grant Selection Committee 18); this was a result of both a decrease in the number of funded taxonomists and a decrease in mean grant size. Similarly, by 2000, the number of entomologists employed at the Canadian National Collection (CNC) had decreased to almost half their 1980 complement. There was also a significant reduction in the number of active arthropod taxonomists in universities across the country between 1989 and 1996. If these declines had continued unabated, it seems possible that taxonomy would have ceased to exist in Canada by the year 2020. While slight increases in personnel have occurred recently at the CNC, the decline in financial assistance for taxonomists has been largely reversed through funds associated with DNA barcoding. These moneys have increased the financial resources available for taxonomy overall to somewhere close to NSERC’s 1980 expenditures and have also substantially increased the number of HQP (highly qualified personnel) currently being trained in taxonomy. We conclude that the criticism “DNA barcoding has taken funds away from traditional approaches to taxonomy” is false and that, in Canada at least, the advent of DNA barcoding has reversed the dramatic decline in taxonomy. We provide recommendations on how to foster the future health of taxonomy in Canada.

The international migration policy under the conditions of migration crisis and COVID-19 pandemic is being updated both at the global level and level of national economies. Numerous international legal acts implemented by the world community since the early 1950s are further evidence that the problem of international migration is not a new, but an urgent problem that is exacerbated in the XXI century. The subject of the article is the world migration policy under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal is to analyze the tools for regulating migration flows at the international level. Objectives: analysis of the international experience of migration policy and classification the main types of migration based on various grounds, systematization the key institutional practices of international migration regulation, assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international migration policy, formation the recommendations for integration of migrants into host communities of different countries. General scientific methods are used: system analysis – to determine the characteristics of global migration flows, induction and deduction – to systematize the key causes, consequences and types of international migration. The following results were obtained: current trends in global migration during 1999-2019 were analyzed, the regulatory support of migration processes at the global level was assessed, changes in remittances of migrant workers were analyzed, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international migration policy was analyzed. Conclusions: over the last 20 years, the number of international migrants has increased significantly to 271.6 million people, which is 3.5% of the world’s population; the share of migrants in the total population is highest in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait; the most popular countries for labor migration at the beginning of 2020 are the United States, Germany and Saudi Arabia; requirements for migration policy in the XXI century are growing constantly, because of the fact that it allows to use the positive potential of migration in the interests of countries development, active international cooperation in this area, and the new challenges facing the world economy; the international migration policy is being transformed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic – many countries granting migrants a regulated status, extending their residence and work permits, providing them with access to basic health care and social security, et.

The Impact

The importance of studying migration processes is due to their massive, regular nature, the impact on the political and social environment of the host countries. Often, a poorly thought out, inconsistent and generally ineffective immigration policy leads to problems in the host countries, reduces the quality of life of the indigenous population, thus creating a split in society, which may result in increasing migrant phobia, xenophobia, etc. A particularly striking example of this situation can serve as some countries of the European Union, in particular, Germany and France. The populations of these countries account for one of the largest shares of migrants not only in Europe, but throughout the world. Of particular research interest is the change in the political preferences of the voters in favor of the forces advocating a rigid migration policy. Within the framework of the systematic and historical-descriptive approaches, the electoral processes in Germany and France were analyzed during the period of the most intense manifestation of the migration problem. It was found that in parallel with the migration crisis in the host countries, a reshuffling of political forces is rapidly taking place: lesser-known political leaders, parties, movements not only appear on the political arena, but quickly gain voters’ support, starting to determine immigration policy. There is a clear relationship between anti-immigration slogans and the entry into the arena of Germany and France of right-wing parties, which are fundamentally changing the political alignment of forces and their political course as a whole. Supporters of the right-wing political persuasion quickly gained popularity at the peak of the migration crisis, but with this problem fading into the background, the need for these political forces began to decrease. As a result of the study, the hypothesis that the migration problem is one of the key factors in the alignment of political forces in Germany and France was confirmed.

Молодежь как класс студенчества определяется тем, что готово не только к формированию инновационного мышления, но также и к изменению своего места пребывания, которое изменяется соответственно задачам, которые молодежь ставить перед собой в процессе изучения отдельных дисциплин, а также при формировании своей жизненной стратегии. Актуальность исследования определяется тем, что построение выбранной образовательной траектории определяется готовностью к получению образования определенной ступени и смене специализации при необходимости изучения более новых дисциплин и формирования знаний. Новизна исследования определяется тем, что мобильность студентов академического толка определяется не только сопутствующим набором получаемых данных, но также и влиянием на миграционные потоки. Следствием подобных миграционных потоков могут быть смещения социального капитала общества в целом. Авторы показывают, что формирование академической мобильности имеет прямую корреляционную связь и способствует достижению условий личностного развития студентов. Практическая значимость исследования определяется тем, что студенческая мобильность позволяет расширить возможности кросскультурного обмена и определить потенциальные направления глобализации общества. Авторы определяют, что возможность прогнозирования изученного явления даст дополнительный стимул экономической стратификации общества. Youth as a class of students is determined by the fact that they are ready not only to form innovative thinking, but also to change their place of residence, which changes accordingly to the tasks that young people set for themselves in the process of studying individual disciplines, as well as in the formation of their life strategy. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that the construction of the chosen educational trajectory is determined by the readiness to receive education at a certain stage and change specialization if necessary to study newer disciplines and knowledge formation. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that the mobility of academic students is determined not only by the accompanying set of data obtained, but also by the impact on migration flows. The consequence of such migration flows may be the displacement of the social capital of society as a whole. The authors show that the formation of academic mobility has a direct correlation and contributes to the achievement of conditions for the personal development of students. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that student mobility allows to expand the possibilities of cross-cultural exchange and identify potential directions of globalization of society. The authors determine that the possibility of forecasting the studied phenomenon will give an additional incentive to the economic stratification of society.

The article examines the global and regional issues of international youth migration. The obtained results are most interesting for those regions where the population is shrinking and aging with a rising need to involve youth for educational services and local labor markets, or vice versa, for those losing youth due to their emigration. It is emphasized that youth create an economically active social group, which volume and quality significantly affect the country’s development. During the global migration trends identification, the authors identified the international youth migration flows’ differences and features. The paper notes that the global trends in the international youth migration development include: increase in volume and percentage of youth in the overall number of migrants and the local population; growth of youth migrants in more developed regions and high-income countries; the dominance of migratory centers for youth in Oceania, North America, and Europe; formation of powerful centers of migration of intellectual young labor resources in the UAE, Canada, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand. The available formational policy in youth migration regulation, on the example of India, China, Taiwan, Japan, USA, and Western Europe, is studied. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international migration flows is considered, including changes in international migration in 2020. Based on the UN data analysis on age groups of migrants within geographical regions, it was determined that the prerequisite for such a structure of migration centers is a high level of migratory attractiveness. Such migration-center structure is also explained by the significant level of cross-regional migration, as in the localized regions, their factors of «attraction-repulsion» are formed. It is stressed out that increas- ing military and political instability has led to the uphill of forced youth migrants. The paper proposes the flow optimization directions of international youth migration by formulating the link between migration policy and elements of other integration policies on migrant youth (employment policy, social, educational, information and security policies).

Quarantine measures and restrictions on movement associated with the spread of the COVID-19 virus have a serious impact on the mobility of the population in the EU, in particular on the labor migration. The pandemic highlighted the significant contribution of the migrant workforce to the keeping vital sections of the European economy operational, which necessitated a reassessment of its role and the adaptation of immigration policy. The article analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the situation of migrant workers, their employment, wages, remittances to their homeland, as well as on the regulation of migration flows and immigration policy. The problems of labor migration from the Eastern Partnership countries to the EU countries are also considered.

In Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island (PEI), the PEI School Library Policy and its supporting documents have guided the development of school library programs since 1989. With a great number of educational changes as a back-drop, this study explored the impact that policy has had on school library programs in PEI. The researchers designed a comprehensive Survey of School Library Resource Centres that probed five key areas: facilities, resources, personnel, programs and services in the 66 schools across PEI. Following the completion of the Survey, 48 principals and teacher-librarians were interviewed for an hour each. 64 of the 66 schools took part and the Survey data and the interview data were analyzed using exploratory data analysis that resulted in dozens of visual and numerical summaries. Data was reported under each of the five major areas probed and 25 Actions were recommended. The study yielded specific detail on the status of school library facilities and resources, and provided a comprehensive look at staffing procedures and problems. The educational concepts of resource-based learning, cooperative planning and information skills that are embedded in the Policy have been well-accepted across the system. New documentation is needed to update learning outcomes and to provide direction for integrating new technologies and the concept of information literacy. Future directions for professional development for teacher-librarians, principals and classroom teachers were outlined and specific needs were identified in the areas of staffing, rebuilding school library collections and connecting technology initiatives and resource-based learning.
