Abstract

The paper systematizes the concepts of ‘eastern’ and ‘western’ directions of labor immigration to Russia as terms for the conventional designation of migrant flows from poor CIS countries and qualified specialists from other countries, including developed Western ones. The author assesses the analytics of limiting mass migration to host countries; presents estimates of original statistical algorithms; notes historical markers of immigration, the experience of which can be used in the modern immigration model; shows negative trends in the decline in the level of foreign labor and the transformation of labor immigration from Central Asian countries into social (civil), along with the risks associated with the naturalization of new citizens.
