“…In recent years, as a result of the increasing intensity of migration flows in the world, especially in the light of the last migration crisis of 2014-2015 in Europe, and the widespread dissemination of social initiatives in the field of socio-cultural and economic adaptation and integration of migrants, research in the field of social innovations, including those relevant to the labor market and employment of migrant workers, became highly relevant (Buiskool and Frouws, 2010;Benton et al, 2014). Russian followers of the sociological approach supplement the experience accumulated by foreign sociologists in studying the portrait of a labor migrant, his demographic and socio-professional profile, life path, socioeconomic status and employment conditions in the labor market (Lokshin and Chernina, 2013;Peshkova, 2016;Sosnina, 2012;Mukomel, 2012;Chudinovskih, Denisenko and Mkrtchyan, 2013;Abashin and Chikadze, 2008). In the process of formation of Russian economic sociology in the second half of XX century, the development of research in the field of ethnic employment (Dyatlov and Grigorichev, 2015) and the socio-cultural and economic adaptation and exclusion of migrants (Mukomel, 2011;Ledeneva, 2014) have also been widely developed.…”
