“…It is obvious that regions with higher economic status and larger urban scale attract people, which is similar with former researches [13,26], where higher income attract people, while higher unemployment demotivates them. The densely populated regions, where always accompanied with larger urban scale, have cumulative effect for inward migration and the intensive reduction of the population size results in the decline of the demographic and labor potential of the area [31,42]. Our study also supports this theory.…”

“…At the micro-scale, Makhrova et al found that the spatial socioeconomic polarization of mainly job opportunities and salaries in a positive way and the steep gradients of housing prices in a negative way, is pushing the population from the economically-depressed regions or towns into regular return migrations (daily, weekly or seasonally) and this pattern, to some extent, is replacing the traditional permanent migration. In turn, this pattern is worsening the socioeconomic situation in less developed regions and thus intensifying the spatial polarization [31]. A case study of migration between Moscow oblast and Moscow city consolidated Makhrova's theory.…”

“…82 Russia regions, including oblasts, republics, autonomous, krais and cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg were included in this study. There are two major types of migration in Russia, regular return migration within micro-regions, which mainly takes place within metropolitan agglomerations and permanent re-location [31]. In this study, net migration indicates the permanent re-location, which is derived as a difference between the number of arrivals and the number of departures.…”

A Study of the Socioeconomic Factors Influencing Migration in Russia

Russia has experienced population decline in years and the economic development in Russia is largely restricted by labor shortage, particularly for the Far North and East region. In order to explore the migration mechanisms, six socioeconomic factors were selected to explore the influences on the net migration. Data from the 82 regions covering four time periods (2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015) was processed use spatial panel econometric analysis and the time-period fixed effects Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) was selected as the best fit model after tests. The results indicates that, unemployment and infant death rate are significantly negatively associated with net migration, while urbanization rate, urban scale and life expectancy are significantly positively associated with net migration; every 100 USD increase in per capita GRP (Gross Regional Product) is positively related with averagely 5.4 net migrates in the region; every 1 year increase in life expectancy would increase 1052 net migrates; every 1sqm increase in urban scale would increase the net migrates by 11.75 and every 1% increase in unemployment would lead to a decrease of 0.54 net migrates. Spillover effect was also found for per capita GRP and life expectancy, indicating that the increase of per capita GRP and life expectancy in neighboring regions can also increase the attractiveness in one region. It can be concluded that better job market, better economic status and health related wellbeing are all attracting factors for migrates and these factors can even make the neighborhood region more attractive for immigrates. Considering the ambitious development plan for the Russia Far North and East regions, related suggestions on attracting migrates are provided.

“…It was the territorial and population growth of these cities in urbanization. The expansion of the second home recreational cabins and cottages to the hinterlands of Czech and other CEE socialist cities is sometimes referred to as "second home" or "seasonal suburbanisation" (Ouředníček, M. 2007;Vágner, J. et al 2011;Makhrova, A.G. et al 2016). Real residential suburbanisation did not have favourable conditions in the period of socialism in this region.…”

The article is a contribution to discussions about the territorial arrangement of suburbs, their types and other settlements in suburban zones around post-socialist CEE provincial cities, based on the example of the South Bohemian "one-hundred-thousand" city of České Budějovice, including territorial development problems of suburbs and other settlements. Suburbs, separated from the city by free space, originate there from the original villages. These suburbs are population-growing settlements with the majority of flats in newer houses, immigrants from the city and economically active people working in the city (based on census data and ongoing registrations). Nearby, moderately distant and more distant suburbs occur in three concentric suburban sub-zones around the examined city, in which the population and spatial size of the suburbs gradually diminish. Semi-suburbs with partial suburbanisation and small towns also occur there. The territorial development problems of some suburbs are mainly associated with the disordered (sub)urban sprawl, the inadequate architecture of new houses, the poor quality and capacity of the technical infrastructure, the lack of public transport connections to the city, the absence and low capacity of kindergartens and elementary schools, clashes with recreational second homes, the lack of greenery and the losses of agricultural land.

“…It is especially relevant for the eastern territories of Russia, which face restructuring and renewal of the Russian economy, and they also face new challenges and new opportunities. Since population mobility has become one of the "development symbols and mottos of society" (Makhrova, Nefedova, & Pallot, 2017), there is the further development trend of moving labor resources from the old industrial regions of Russia after new investment projects to the Far East and Siberia. The New Silk Road increases the interest to this topic.…”

The purpose of the article is to reveal the influence of the state policy of economic restructuring and renewal on the allocation of labor resources in regions and cities of the country. The state policy has an impact on the allocation of labor resources, but causes, at times, conflicting effects. This is especially true during the economic restructuring and renewal period. As a scientific and methodological basis, the analysis of the economic structure and the four-factor shift-share analysis, adapted by the authors in earlier works, were used. The use of statistical data of 98 cities in five federal districts of Russia in 2009–2015 allowed the authors to reveal the ambiguous influence of the state policy of economic restructuring and renewal on the allocation of labor resources by regions and cities of the country. It has been confirmed that the restructuring and renewal policy of the Russian economy, as well as in other countries, is accompanied by changes in the allocation of labor resources. As a positive effect, it can be noted that economic restructuring and renewal contribute to a balance in the spatial allocation of labor resources. As negative effects of economic restructuring and renewal, the authors of the article note the inertial nature of the economic structure (the extractive sector retains a leading position in terms of employment indicators) and a reduction in the labor potential of peripheral cities, which does not correspond to the stated goals of the economic restructuring and renewal policy. It is shown that the city authorities are able to exert a greater influence on changes in the economic structure than it is generally assumed. The authors believe that the states implementing the restructuring and renewal policy should take into account changes in the allocation of labor resources by regions and cities in order to observe the balance in regions’ development and not to fall into a trap in which economic growth of regions attracting labor resources will be achieved at the expense of other regions.
