| Summary: | This study identifies stable migration flows in Irkutsk district within the national framework of migration flows between different regions of Russian Federation. Some of the flows have been identified as facilitating population growth in Irkutsk Oblast (inflows from Republic of Buryatia, Zabaykalsky Krai, and the Russian Far East regions) and others are identified as working in the opposite direction (outflows to Krasnoyarski Krai, Novosibirsk Oblast, and central Russia regions). The analysis of international migration identifies primarily inflow migration channels from Central Asian countries, Caucasia and Transcaucasia, as well as Ukraine. Migration exchanges with other foreign countries, further afar, are very limited ; migration inflow from China has increased in 2017, but the scope of this inflow remains limited relatively to the migration inflows from neighbouring countries. The results of this study show that Irkutsk district suffers from the loss of skilled working-age population. The results of the 2018 sociological study on the attitude of the Irkutsk district population towards migration show a significant potential for further migration outflows due mostly to a search for a better life and working conditions. |
