VARIOUS ASPECTS OF EMPLOYMENT OF FOREIGN CITIZENS IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The article deals with the controversial nature of the contemporary production process: the growing share of certain activities that require highly skilled workers, opposed by many labour functions performed by low-skilled workers. Thus, we found there are the objective conditions for the needs of the modern economy in the low-skilled labour force. The paper explains the reason for the demand for such jobs in the local labour market, even if there is some level of unemployment. Further, the author reveals the conditionality of the labour immigration mechanism, the simultaneous functioning of several separate labour markets, as well as their characteristic features. The article substantiates the need for a wide involvement of foreign labour force as a characteristic phenomenon of the contemporary Russian economy. We pointed to the economic benefits of using foreign workers for private and public sectors, including through illegal forms of employment. The paper also reveals the socio-political benefits of attracting foreign labour. We described the perception of foreign workers of their position and the situation in which they find themselves. Also, we showed the reasons for the weak integration of labour migrants into Russian society and their marginalization. The paper analyzes the social consequences of attracting foreign labour, the emergence of a number of serious problems: in particular, as a result of the increase in the share of the foreign population in some large cities, the internal structure of those cities changes. There is a tendency of ethnic concentration, which results in a parallel existence of some social subsystem with its specific needs.
