SOCIAL INTEGRATION OF INTERNATIONAL MIGRANTS IN PRIMORSKY KRAY: PROBLEMS AND PERSPECTIVES

Primorsky kray is among most developed regions of Russia’s Far  East. However, the region is depopulating as mortality rate exceeds  birth rate and due to out-migration of a local population. Labor  migration partly compensates labor deficiency in the local labor  market. Integration of international migrants becomes a vital issue.  The purpose of this paper is to identify factors that facilitate or  hamper international migrants' integration to a local labor market,  medical care and institutions of cultural integration of Primorski kray,  as well as practices used by migrants to overcome the  barriers. The research is based on statistical data and data from prior published research as well as on the results from 12  expert interviews. The experts are specialized in the field of  migration in Primorsky krai. International migrants encounter  barriers when obtaining the legal work permissions and with a  limited access to the medical care services. To overcome the  barriers, migrants use a wide range of resources including services  of intermediary firms specialized on migrants from the APEC  countries as well as NGO services. To reduce social risks related to  labor migration and to enhance migrants’ social integration, a  system of the organized recruitment of labor migrants in their  countries of origin is needed for their consequent employment in  Primorsky kray. In addition, to facilitate migrants’ ethno-cultural and  linguistic adaptation, further development of civic organizations is  needed.
