Application of questionnaire methods in geographical research of population migration in the Ivano-Frankiv region

Abstract

Results.  Data obtained from one hundred and seventy respondents became the main source of the study of emigration of the population of Ivano-Frankivsk region. The study analyzed the age and gender structure of migrants in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. Percentage participation of respondents in migration processes within the administrative unit was established. The recipient countries of emigrants from the Ivano-Frankivsk region have been determined. The purpose of the departure, the conditions of the move, and the impact of the pandemic on emigration have been clarified. Migration processes in the Ivano-Frankivsk region are directed, on the one hand, to familiarization with the culture and lifestyle of developed countries, and on the other hand, to the outflow of young able-bodied people in search of well-paid work abroad. Such a trend will contribute to the artificial aging process of the nation. The

Conclusions.  largest recipient country in terms of number is Poland. Migration processes, in particular emigration, can be minimized thanks to adequate remuneration, increasing the value of human capital, creating new jobs, as well as promoting the development of small and medium-sized businesses. For this, a clear regional policy in the field of migration processes, in particular emigration, should be formed, and the main development programs of the Ivano-Frankivsk region should be developed.
