Recently, Vladimir Putin admitted that the workers – an integral part of the Russian economy, like any other economy in the world. Migrants perform part of the work, which is extremely important when there is a problem of personnel (natural) losses among the regular population, in particular, because of the notorious “coronavirus threat.”
In this regard fundamentally, but reasonable restrictions in the traffic of migrants entered the countries in connection with the coronavirus. Meanwhile, companies continue to face challenges when reconciling entry to Russia for foreign specialists, attracted for the implementation of large investment projects, to which the head of RSPP Alexander Shokhin drew the attention of the Prime Minister.
ideally, skilled migrants can solve the problem of shortage of labour, so necessary for the realization of prospective development projects, including – to continue working construction. This, in turn, will contribute to the restart of the fuel and energy industry and the related petrochemicals in tough competitive conditions: on the one hand, the “oil wars”, with another – create a new configuration of the market after transactions within OPEC+.
it is Obvious that it pointed out the President of the Russian Federation, insisting on the need to update migration policy of the country. The fact that the alleged large-scale infrastructure and industrial projects today are focused on the task of providing breakthrough economic growth for the period after the “coronavirus threat.” From the timing of these projects depends on the entry in the TOP 5 world economies, and has already declared two-fold increase in non-oil exports by 2024, and the opportunity for national economies to get off the “oil needle”.
Rosstat has around 4.2 million resident migrants and 6.6 million people temporarily coming to work, study or just live. Another 2.1 million illegal immigrants, according to the Federation of migrants of Russia. So the country is 12.9 million people in this category (9% of total population), and in fact migrant workers make up 8.7 million, or 12% of the workforce. This is according to Rosstat and the Ministry of interior.
For comparison, the champion migrants of the United States. Their number is 50.7 million people, the second position in Germany – 13.1 million Russia is in fourth place, according CAPRI for 2017.
note that migrating together with international developers working force practically does not pose a threat from the point of view of growth of the infamous “dominance of workers” – if the right to organize these transit flows first in Russia and then beyond. Here, geographical distance of the same construction sites creates a natural barrier to negative social phenomena. Ops�� shows that the responsibilities for tighter control in these enclaves must be entrusted to specific companies-developers. It is important along with easing restrictions on the entry of migrants/non-residents are required to tighten control over the observance of the national legislation: the situation in many countries of the world develops in such a way that it is necessary – up to life deportation and the abolition of “work visa”.
Shift arrivals of skilled migrants allow you to dramatically accelerate the implementation of development projects is not easy without compromising the rest of the population, but rather to the benefit of him.
Obviously, the economy receives additional new capacity and jobs, additional tax base, and the potential for infrastructural development of complex regions. This is the main condition for simultaneously ongoing infrastructure and industrial projects, for example, in multiple territories at once.
of Course, instead of the global companies and the workforce in the form of migrants can attract Russian small construction firms, however, this is not an effective solution, which is critical to prolong the time and increase the cost of the projects, including, because of the high cost of organizing the interaction between each mini-team. The analogy with the biblical tower of Babel here direct.
note that, with the proper and reasonable organization of work the same “shift workers”, as a rule, are aware of the degree of responsibility of their work, allowing us to obtain sufficient funding, as many areas now projects just “are” and the staff dismissed.
it is Clear that the majority of pragmatic-minded migrants prefer to keep their “national emotions” to himself, so as not to irritate the local population. Moreover, the personnel of the bench is quite long and to replace those who were at fault (riots, violence, etc. – for example events in the U.S., etc.) would love to come new migrants.
Russia is a country with strong traditions of joint residence of different peoples with established traditions and limitations, which can maintain the necessary to live with balance. To consider it – our own peril. Russian law enforcement agencies are patient enough, but in case of escalation prepared to act decisively and firmly.
And those who does not understand “what is good, what is bad”, it is necessary to punish on all severity of the law. For example, it is obvious that everyone who rioted at the Amur gas processing plants, broke Windows, overturned cars, looted a store or instigated it, will find and will punish. The rigidity and certainty of punishment is a vital need to keep the sieveation under control in the name of security of the population. Therefore, together with the removal of restrictions on the entry of migrants, it is essential to tighten control over the observance of the law.
Migrants are problems, but they are in any country. If correctly to build work with the contingent, for the national economy the opportunity as quickly as possible to offset the “demographic hole” and labor shortages will become, if not salvation, a way out of the extremely difficult situation.
of Course, law enforcement agencies need to conduct regular work with migrants – the spread of legal consciousness is the result of painstaking daily work of the relevant services.
However, one question has not been removed one: those who criticize today is quite lenient immigration policy, prepared themselves for revenge yards and work on construction sites? And if you are, but a lot of money whether they are happy to raise prices for housing and other products?
