THE CURRENT STATE OF MIGRATION IN UKRAINE AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE MILITARY INVASION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Abstract

The scientific article defines the current state of migration in Ukraine as a consequence of the military invasion of the russian federation. The work highlights three main types of population migration that are currently observed in Ukraine: migration abroad; internal movements within the state; illegal deportation of Ukrainian citizens to the russian federation. The analysis of the conducted research confirms the negative consequences of the migration of Ukrainians abroad, and only in the case of the return of such persons will Ukraine have a chance to help in the development and reconstruction of the state. Low involvement of internally displaced persons in the employment process through state structures was found. At the same time, the effectiveness of the structural divisions of the State Employment Service is recognized as low, which indicates the ineffectiveness of the measures implemented by the employees. The direction of the State Employment Service's work – the provision of career guidance services – was noted as positive. It was concluded that other areas of service need further development and improvement. It was determined that the most vulnerable category of Ukrainian citizens who were illegally deported to the russian federation are children. It is noted that the presented public statistical information in the state as a whole is not completely reliable, because the latency of migration processes is due to life circumstances, the policy of foreign states, the occupation of certain territories of Ukraine, hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, personal reasons of individual citizens and other reasons. The supported opinion is that the longer the hostilities continue, the more Ukrainian citizens will decide not to return to Ukraine, because this time promotes their integration. Emphasis is placed on the importance of the return of Ukrainian citizens in order to avoid a demographic, social and economic catastrophe. It is concluded that the conclusions and generalizations defined in the article can become the basis for further scientific research in the direction of overcoming the migration consequences of the military invasion of the russian federation.
