Flows of external labor migration in most cases occur under the influence of the internal economic and political situation in the country; however, in 2020 these trends changed significantly for reasons which did not depend on the socio-economic situation. In order to determine the volume of labor migration in 2020, an analysis was conducted. According to the results, it has been concluded that, despite the restrictive quarantine measures implemented in the European Union (EU) that caused the partial return of migrants to their countries, the rise in unemployment and slow economic growth, labor migrants are highly employed in key occupations of EU that are vital in the fight against coronavirus disease (COVID-19). It has been noticed that EU countries increase the number of officially issued residence permits to citizens of non-member countries every year, and Ukraine has become the absolute leader in the number of received residence permits, as well as the leader among European countries by the volume of the received remittances. An abstract-logical and systematic approach, analytical, comparative, graphical, and critical methods were used in the study. Prospects for external labor migration of Ukrainians to European countries have been identified.

Introduction. The national doctrine of education development in Ukraine states that education should become a strategic resource for improving people's well-being, ensure national interests, strengthen the authority and competitiveness of the state in the international arena. However, the state and trends of changes in education, especially in higher education, do not adequately meet the requirements of society and the state. Globalization, innovation processes, and the adoption of sustainable development priorities on the one hand determine intellect and knowledge as the main priorities of ensuring the development of society in the future. On the other hand they determine the necessity of bringing the system of higher education in general, and its educational and scientific activity, in particular, in accordance with time requirements. The state and institutions of higher education have the task of overcoming the problems and implementing measures that would contribute to the development of educational and scientific activities of higher education institutions. Therefore, the relevance of the study is the importance of understanding the state of educational and scientific activity of higher education institutions to determine the prospects for developing and outlining the measures of state, regional policy and policy of educational institutions in order to ensure their strategic development. Purpose. The article aims to identify problems and prospects for the development of educational and scientific activities of higher education institutions. Method (methodology). The following methods have been used in the course of the research: method of theoretical justification, method of statistical analysis, method of comparison, abstract and logical method, graphical and tabular method, methods of mathematical statistics. In particular, the trend method has been used, which allowed to formulate a forecast and make conclusions about the prospects of the development of educational and scientific activity of institutions of higher education. Results. The main tendencies and consistent patterns of development of educational and scientific activity of institutions of higher education have been revealed. In particular, it has been determined a significant reduction in the number of institutions of higher education and reduction of student contingent, which reflects the emergence of crisis phenomena in educational activities. The number of postgraduates and doctoral students has significantly reduced, reflecting a decline in interest in research. Mostly such problems are related with a significant reduction in the funding of higher education institutions, in particular, the reduction of funding for research and the reduction of state orders. On complex, crisis conditions, in which Ukraine's higher education has found itself, it is important to implement support measures, which are oriented on time and market demands. Measures to support higher education in Ukraine should be strategically aimed at ensuring the development and competitiveness of domestic higher education institutions in a globalized and long-term perspective.

Migration is one of the main factors of globalization and it is not likely that it can be stopped as it is objective and, in most cases, is linked to the ability of the workforce to respond quickly to the changes in the society and the economy. The paper is devoted to the research of the impact of migration on the economic and social development of Ukraine's population. The methods used in the preparation of the paper are: analytical, descriptive, comparative, statistical, graphic, and critical. The paper was written on the basis of the official domestic and international data and also on the results of sociological research in which the main intentions and motives of potential migrants are investigated. On the base of the conducted research, we can conclude that, at the current stage, migration growth in Ukraine is related to structural changes in the economy and the labor market, economic growth slowdown, low wages, and quality of life compared to the nearest neighbor countries, visa liberalization with EU countries, and access to education abroad. One of the aims of the paper was to calculate the hypothetical losses of GDP from human capital migration.
