Foreign Labor Force in the Far East of Russia

Abstract

The article analyzes the dynamics of spatial distribution, geographical structure and connection of the foreign labor force with a number of macroeconomic parameters of the development of the Far East in 2011–2016 on the basis of official statistics. It is determined that the total number of foreign workers attracted to the far Eastern regions was largely due to the size of their economy, which indicates the presence of a gravitational relationship between these parameters. Based on the analysis of foreign markets of goods and capital, it is assumed that the real values of the foreign labor force of the far Eastern regions may be near the number of foreign labor migrants reflected in the balance of labor resources.
