The phenomenon of migration is a complex social process, as a result of which there is an exchange of experience, work skills, knowledge, and mobility and development of the personality of the world's population is also ensured. People move to live in another place for various reasons, so let's figure out what the reasons for migration might be.

What are the reasons for migration

By origin, the reasons for migration can be - humanitarian, racial, economic, cultural, religious, political, environmental, legal, psychological.

Some reasons for the movement of people within a state between regions or between countries are of a group and mass nature, while others are of an individual nature.

The grounds for migration are objective and subjective, typical and specific.

Understanding what makes people migrate, you need to dwell on the ratio of social. and economic factors of the existence of the population, which is determined by the differential in the levels of development of states.

Among the existing causes of migration, one should note such an important factor as the environment. Quite a few studies have been carried out that have been able to confirm the close relationship of morbidity as a result of the process of natural pollution of the environment with the territorial movement of people.

The most common reasons for migration are:

  • the need to change lives, develop culture, expand knowledge;
  • striving to improve conditions as well as the quality of life;
  • development of conflicts of social etiology, war;
  • search for options for the realization of one's professionalism - search for work in another place in the desired position, on more suitable conditions, in the specialty;
  • marriage. reunion with loved ones;
  • changes in the regional location of production facilities, which results in the fact that the environmental situation in the region is deteriorating;
  • The need to change climatic conditions for their own health
  • deterioration of working conditions, the emergence of conflicts at work;
  • Family conflicts.

Migration to Russia

The mobility of the population of the Russian Federation after the collapse of the Union has greatly decreased. But the latter applies only to internal migration, in contrast to it, external migration has increased significantly.

Changes in migration flows during the existence of the Russian Federation can be characterized as follows:

  1. A large number of refugees from countries that are developing. temporarily stop in Russia, choosing it as a “stop” when traveling to the EU states.
  2. A change in the direction of labor migrants to the east, at the present time, residents of the Far North, Siberia, the Far East go to the European part of Russia (most often these are cities located in the Central part of Russia and the North Caucasus). This is due to the degraded standard of living of the people of the east of the state.

Today, there is an influx of labor migrants to the Federation from neighboring countries. mainly among them are illegal immigrants who violate the country's legislation already at the entrance to Russia.

It is possible to analyze the causes of migration in Russia, starting from the factors that ensure the movement of citizens:

  • Natural and climatic. Because of the warmer and more comfortable climate, settlers go to the Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories. The economic factor is also important.
  • Economic. Migrants began to actively move to regions where the standard of living is high - St. Petersburg, the Leningrad, Kaliningrad regions, the Moscow region and Moscow itself.
  • Social. This is the basis for return migration (relocation of a person who migrated earlier to other regions to their places of birth). It is more common in the server and eastern regions.
  • social factors.
