Abstract: | This paper presents ways of regulating migration processes in the Russian Federation. Migrations discussed include international, domestic, and migrations among regions. It was proposed that a conceptual model for the state migration policy of Russia for the medium and long term should be developed to project main goals, tasks, and priorities of migration policy. Secondly, there is a need to elaborate the conceptual model of the distribution of productive forces of Russia under the market economy conditions for the long term, and its connection with migration policy. Thirdly, the system of macroeconomic regulation of the processes of migration should be a general model for the settlement of the inhabitants of the Russian Federation. Furthermore, the Russian society should guard itself against the negative social consequences of illegal migration. Illegal entry of foreigners and labor migration is considered to be the principal problems of migration in Russia. Finally, Russia should focus on the redistribution of its population in such a way that it will gain the maximum benefit. |
