Impact of Forced Internal Migration on the Social Security of Ukrainian Regions

Abstract

The prolonged hostilities in Eastern Ukraine and the annexation of the Crimea by Russia have led to the forced migration of domestic refugees to other regions of Ukraine. In the context of inefficient institutional mechanisms of state support for internally relocated persons, additional threats to the development of hosting territories in the social sphere are emerging. The problems of regional development caused by the placement of internally displaced persons in the region remain under-researched. There is no comprehensive study of the impact of internally displaced persons on the socio-economic development of the hosting regions, and the extent of internal forced migration and related problems remain unaddressed in determining the level of social security of Ukrainian regions.The purpose of the article is to determine the impact of internal forced migration on the level of social security of the regions with the highest concentration of internally displaced persons. To achieve this goal, the following research methods were used: calculation of the integral indicator of social security of the regions where the largest number of migrants is concentrated; assessment of the effect of concentration of internally displaced persons in the region on the social security of the region; regression analysis of relations between social security indicators in all regions of Ukraine in the period of 2014-2018.

In different countries of the world, Kazakhs have different political, economic, cultural and social statuses, which is due to historical events and the policies pursued in relation to this population in the country of residence (Mendikulova, 1997;Babets and Ruda, 2018;Herz et al, 2018). Thus, the political and social situation in the countries where they live was defined.…”

Introduction: Labor Migration in Ukraine and the Post-Soviet Space

“…After post-Soviet countries gained independence, their citizens could travel to other countries, particularly for employment. Increased labor migration to other countries was noticed in Ukraine, especially after the start of hostilities in the country's east (Babets & Ruda, 2020;Kadriu, 2023). This themed section of Dve domovini / Two Homelands illuminates significant contemporary migration and labor migration trends in the post-Soviet space.…”
