Socio-economic Features of the Formation of Migration Processes in the North Caucasus

The paper analyses the effectiveness of interregional migration in the North Caucasus Federal District regions. The main trends and conditions in which migration processes are formed in the region and the main structural and socio-economic conditions that shape the direction and dynamics of population movements are highlighted. The main problems of economic development and regional labour markets of the territories of the North Caucasus are outlined. In particular, the impact of migration on the regional labour market and changes in the demand structure of regional employment are assessed. It is concluded that the level of economic development, underdevelopment of social infrastructure and a high level of labour surplus creates conditions for the outflow and aspirations of young people to more economically developed territories of Russia.
