А. Melikhov. The impact of international economic migration on the labor potential of enterprises in the donor country.

Abstract

The relevance of studying the processes of international labor migration in the context of increasing its intensity was substantiated. The classical and modern theoretical approaches to labor migration were analyzed in the framework of both economic and interdisciplinary orientation. The definition of “migration” was clarified on the basis of its dualistic interpretation, both as a process and as a result. Its connection with the development of the structure and quality of labor potential was noted. The factors and motives of international labor migration were systematized on the basis of the theory of pull and push factors. Economic, social, political, demographic, and environmental factors were distinguished. Based on the SWOT analysis methodology, an assessment was made of the migration results for all its actors, both at the macro level (the recipient country to which migrants go, the donor country from which they leave) and at the micro level (directly migrants, enterprises-employers, which potential migrants may quit). This made it possible to determine the positive and negative consequences of migration not only at the present time, but also in the future. Using the theory of rational choice, it was concluded that migrants, as well as the recipient country and the donor country, have a positive effect on migration. The ways of solving the problems of labor potential development that arise in enterprises-employers of the donor country were proposed through activities related to scientific, technical and organizational progress, in particular, the development of labor-saving technologies, personnel marketing methods, the development of employee loyalty programs.
