In June 2012, the President of the Russian Federation approved a document defining a long-term migration policy of Russia until 2025.The fact of the development of the long-awaited concept says that the statesmen finally turned to face the emerging issues for a long time, and Migration Policy of the Russian Federation are interested in power.After all, according to official data provided by the Federal Migration Service of Russia, on the territory of the Federation live and work more than ten million foreigners.It is no secret that the majority of them entered the country illegally.And this is only the official statistics.Many independent experts have called the numbers much higher, and the newspapers are full of headlines about the dissatisfaction of the indigenous population influx of migrant workers.So what is the state migration policy is characterized by the modern period?
First of all, in Russia there is an opposite opinion, two of the feasibility of attracting labor from neighboring countries.On the one hand, the authorities have repeatedly voiced the idea that only through the involvement of migrant workers, through the use of cheaper, and more skilled labor force, it is possible to keep the economic growth of the state and welfare of the population.
But in reality, migration policy is not adjusted so that the mass influx of skilled personnel can not speak.On this basis, it follows a completely different opinion - the emergence of hidden unemployment due to the use of migrant labor.Gradually, an increasing proportion of the population with low incomes, are prepared to work with understated the level of pay, just to be able to find a job.Paid unskilled works can lead to increased productivity, and without it pointless to talk about economic growth.
Initiative Medvedev prime minister who believes that immigration policy should be tightened by increasing the introduction of harsh penalties and criminal liability for organizing illegal migration, are no longer the preventive measures.Years of uncontrolled VWP created a unique infrastructure in the field of migration legislation.Attracted by guest workers created their oiled parallel world with its silent branches of government.Meanwhile, the widely growing discontent of the indigenous population, and not to say that the claim expressed unfair.A number of Russian regions is saturated with migrant workers, and this situation creates competition in the labor market and results in social tensions.The current migration policy does not address the question of tax payments, does not determine the order of medical support newcomers, does not provide a balance between migrants and locals.
principles and objectives laid down in the above-mentioned concept, partly designed to resolve a number of emerging issues.But too often the ideas and initiatives, casual made in the upper echelons of power are seen as implicit guide to action and entail the reckless management decisions.Migration policies and the problems associated with it, can not be subject to the decisions taken at the level of emotion.Tighter accountability for illegal migration will not change largely unfavorable overall picture.
achieve positive shifts in the field of labor migration is possible only through an integrated approach to the realization of the processes and phase of their remedy.It is hoped that this concept, as the first adopted document defining priorities of state migration policy, there will be voiced only on paper, and eliminate existing contradictions between the people of Russia and the newly arrived workers.
