The Russian Federation

The article aims to analyze the immigration politics of the Russian Federation from the perspective of the last three decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We have considered its importance from the point of view of the domestic and foreign policy of the state. Since 2000, with the beginning of Vladimir Putin’s first presidency, we have been observing a significant increase in the importance of the immigration policy of the Russian Federation, which was an important component of the Russian population policy and one of the key instruments to counteract the deepening depopulation of the state. However, the growing popularity of labor migration to the Russian Federation and the low effectiveness of managing migration flows resulted in a massive influx of irregular migrants, which have used some of the Russian political circles to fuel anti-immigration sentiments. Because of this politics, since 2007, we have been observing a gradual departure from the earlier model of immigration policy, open to labor migration from the Commonwealth of Independent States, towards a policy limiting the influx of Muslim migrants from Central Asia. At the same time Russian government have invited Russian-speaking people from the post-Soviet area to settle in Russia. The introduced restrictions allowed the Russian Federation to use the facilitation of access to the Russian labor market as an instrument encouraging the political and economic integration of the post-Soviet states within the structures controlled by the Russian Federation. The increase in the political component of immigration policy did not change the fact that it was thanks to the influx of people from the post-Soviet area that Russia avoided the depopulation that is currently observed in Ukraine. Analyzing the situation of the Russian Federation and its politics towards the post-Soviet region, the realistic paradigm was used as it best reflects the specificity of the region.

The Impact

The article deals with the impact of external labor migration on the balance of the labor market in the Russian Federation. The main emphasis is placed on the need to monitor the migration situation and taking timely "migration" measures by the Government of the Russian Federation based on its results. The migration component is presented in strategic planning documents and correlated with the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation. At this moment, against the background of the current unfavorable epidemiological situation caused by the spread of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the Government of the Russian Federation is taking a number of measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including those in the field of migration. The article analyzes the current measures preventing departure of labor migrants staying in the Russian Federation and other categories of foreign citizens who have arrived for the purposes other than work in the "shadow sector" of the labor market. It shows the present state of external labor migration by analyzing statistical and informational data, as well as possible risks in the implementation of social and labor relations. Sectors of the economy have been identified that may experience a shortage of labor resources as a result of the implementation of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection. Dependence of the sphere of external labor migration on macroeconomic, international and political factors is stated. Particular attention in the article is paid to the institute of highly qualified specialists (HQS). The need was expressed to improve the procedure for attracting foreign citizens to work on the territory of the Russian Federation as HQS, to set additional criteria for their selection, to introduce an advance payment of income tax on HQS and to increase employers' liability for violation of the established procedure in this area, including the need to diversify control mechanisms for employers who attract foreign citizens as highly qualified specialists.

Demographic Policy

This paper makes a case for that declines in population size must be counteracted via a well-substantiated anti-depopulation policy. Russia’s current anti-depopulation policy has yet to live up to its potential. The linkage between depopulation and social/economic processes taking place across the Russian Federation may well be associated with the nation’s rather inhomogeneous, polarized natural-terrain, territorial-economic, and settlement structure and marked differentiation in terms of major demographic and natural/economic determinants. By its subject matter, the issue of depopulation has long stopped being strictly scientific – it now also has a political, economic, and ethnocultural ring to it. In this context, ‘The Concept on Demographic Policy in the Russian Federation for the Period through to 2025’ expressly sets out the goals, principles, objectives, and key focus areas for Russia’s demographic policy, as well as the mechanisms for implementing it and curbing depopulation. However, all these postulates have thus far failed to be a factor for rational activity and greater responsibility for implementing set objectives on the part of relevant public authorities, which is affecting the nation’s geopolitical security.

To Receive

The article presents the results of economic and statistical study assessing the implementation of the principle of decent wages for employees in general education. According to the author, at present, determining the amount of funding for teachers’ salaries is caught in the trap of using the basic criterion defined as the «average salary in the region», which does not allow a significant part of specialists to receive decent remuneration for their work and provokes a high staff turnover. In order to eliminate negative trends, the author proposed adjusting the principle for payment of salaries for school teachers, with an emphasis on increasing the minimum wage rather than the average wage. The study proposes a modified method for calculating the leading coefficient. This indicator makes it possible to correlate the growth rates of teachers' salaries with the basic (starting) conditions prevailing in the regions at the beginning of the implementation of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 597 of 7 May 2012 «On Measures for the Implementation of State Social Policy» and also takes into account the uneven distribution of the salary fund for school teachers (by comparing the achievement of the May decree target in regions with the number of specialists receiving a minimum salary or less). The modified methodology was tested on statistical data for 83 constituent entities of Russia. The approbation showed that in 2019 11 constituent entities of the Russian Federation could not provide even the minimum conditions for a decent salary for all school teachers (in 2015, they included 3 territories, in 2017 – 13). All the necessary conditions for the implementation of the principle of decent salaries are created only in three constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The conclusion summarizes possibilities of practical use of regional experience in the implementation of the «All included» model (based on the establishment of a single salary for all professional activities in the school) to improve the planning of teachers' salaries in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
