ECONOMIC MIGRATIONS: MODERN TRENDS AND SECURITY ISSUES

Abstract

Abstract. Economic migration is an important phenomenon of the modern world, which has a significant impact on the economic development and security of states. This article examines current trends and problems associated with economic migration.

One of the main trends is the growing number of economic migrants in the world. This growth is due to various factors, such as uneven distribution of resources, conflicts, climate change and demographic changes. As a result, many people are forced to look for better economic opportunities outside their own countries. However, there are also problems associated with economic migration that require attention.

Modern international migrations reflect the processes of integration of peripheral countries into the global economy. Rapid inclusion in global trade, production and information networks makes some countries and regions active participants in migration. Economic globalization, although it displaces people from their usual living conditions, also creates favorable opportunities for achieving economic prosperity.

Increasing migration interdependence between countries with a surplus of labor and countries in need of workers of certain categories determines the main trends in the movement of labor resources. Almost all countries in the world become either sending, transit or receiving countries for migrants, and sometimes perform all these functions simultaneously. Migration volumes are predicted to increase in the near future for several reasons. First, the persistence of inequality between developed and developing countries. Secondly, political and ethnic conflicts in a number of regions will continue to stimulate migration flows. And thirdly, the creation of new free trade zones will promote labor mobility.

Combating the problems of economic migration requires joint efforts on the part of the international community. This includes developing and implementing effective control mechanisms, protecting the rights of migrants and facilitating their integration into new societies. It is also necessary to work to address the root causes of migration, such as poverty, conflict and inequality. In general, economic migration is a complex phenomenon that requires attention and balanced approaches to ensure the economic development and security of all countries affected by this process.
