“…Thus, in the optimistic scenario (doubling the average wage in dollar terms and reduction by half the share of the population with incomes below the subsistence level) the number of emigrants may decrease 5 times by 2023from 610. 7 In our previous studies we grounded that one of the priorities of state migration policy of Ukraine has to be: reducing the pace and scale of emigration. We called it the concept of "inhibition of migration losses" of the country's human potential (the word "inhibition" means "slowing down", "holding").…”

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to develop the theoretical and methodological foundations for the study of return migration policy based on its information support, including regression analysis and authors’ sociological research on return intentions of Ukrainian migrants. Methodology / approach. The mathematical tools were used for the assessment of Ukraine’s economical losses, related to migration. With the help of the sociological method (survey) migrants’ intentions and main motives to return were investigated. Stepwise regression model was built for identification of main factors of Ukrainian population’s international migration. Besides, general scientific methods were used in the study, such as: analysis, generalization, systematization, tabular and graphical. Results. Analysis showed the lack of statistical and sociological information on international migration (particularly return migration) of Ukrainian population. It substantiates the need for improving the system of information provision of migration policy. The results of the survey of the migrants from the Carpathian region of Ukraine (conducted in 2020) show low level of their readiness to return. According to the answers to the questionnaire, there are two main circumstances that could motivate migrants to return: high level of wages and general improving of economic situation in Ukraine. Due to the regression model it was found that the emigration of the population is influenced by the following factors: average monthly wages, gross regional product per capita, foreign direct investment per economically active person and the share of the population with incomes below the subsistence level. The article provides main benefits and ways of implementation of the return migration policy. Particularly, circular migration is considered as a good way to slow down losses of human resources. It is beneficial for all institutional units of the migration process. Originality / scientific novelty. The methodology for the consequences of international migration study is improved. In particular, the formula for determination of migration losses through the calculation of economic activity losses is proposed and calculated for the first time. The theoretical foundation of return migration policy is developed. In particular, the model of return migration process on the individual level is elaborated. The sociological tool for the return migration investigation is developed and tested. Practical value / implications. The practical recommendations for the human resources conservation are worked out. The questions for the survey, developed by the authors, could be used in further investigations in this issue. The model of return migration process is useful for developing a comprehensive return migration policy, which could support migrants at all stages of this process: decisions making, movement and reintegration.

“…Temporary Protection Regulation (TPR) of 2014 regulates access to rights, services, and assistance to Syrians in Turkey as beneficiaries of temporary protection. Framing the event as a temporary crisis, between 2011 and 2014, Turkey pursued an ‘open‐door policy’ which allows all fleeing Syrians to cross the border and begin receiving humanitarian assistance provided through collaboration among public authorities, civil society organizations (CSOs), and international organizations (IOs) to minimize Syrian refugees' survival concerns and meet their immediate shelter, food, and clothing needs (Ozcurumez & Icduygu, 2020; Sahin‐Mencutek et al., 2022). Studies note that this “strategic temporality” as a prevailing approach led to challenges in designing and implementing a coherent national integration policy (Sahin‐Mencutek et al., 2022).…”

This study seeks answers to the question: ‘Under what conditions do communities with migration experience in refugee‐receiving states become more open toward accepting more refugees and why?’. The research seeks answers to this question by examining the attitudes of individuals (N = 37) from Turkey who have been living in Germany for at least a year and who have sufficient familiarity with the characteristics of governance of mass migration in both countries. The findings suggest that the respondents are more pessimistic about the consequences of Turkey accepting more refugees in the future, while they are optimistic about the outcomes of the arrival of more refugees in Germany. This study posits that receiving communities' perceptions about the host state's regulatory and institutional capacity in managing mass migration and integration of refugees shape their attitudes toward the possibility of the influx of more refugees over time. The findings indicate that efficient mass migration governance in a receiving state is identified through four characteristics: (i) admission of educated refugees, (ii) proper refugee registration procedures, (iii) systematic integration processes, and (iv) effective monitoring and law enforcement mechanisms. The study concludes that local communities view public authorities as the key actors in managing the consequences of mass migration and establishing and sustaining good mass migration governance at the receiving state level is likely to facilitate positive attitudes towards accepting more refugees.

“…The migration crisis experienced by the European Union in 2015 has highlighted the new demand for a rapid, reactive, flexible migration policy model to ensure its agility in the face of promptly changing circumstances. This has led to an upheaval in the way migration governance is conducted (Sahin-Mencutek et al, 2022). This change refers to the so-called local turn, which deals with the transfer of duties and responsibilities from the central state to local public-private arrangements and refugees themselves (Kaya & Nagel, 2021).…”

“…The influx of refugees in Poland, at least on this scale, is a recent phenomenon. During the migration crisis in 2015, Poland was not a prominent destination country for migration or the allocation of asylum seekers (Sahin‐Mencutek et al, 2022). Therefore, there was no need to develop comprehensive local policies for the reception and handling of refugees, nor have local working practices been developed in this area.…”

“…The ‘crisis governance’ of migration may be characterised by three interrelated features: (1) many actors of state, civil and private society act on international, national and local levels; (2) complicated and fragmented legal systems and policy provisions that may change over time and vary territorially; and (3) appeal to the narrative that the nation‐state can control and resolve the refugee crisis (Sahin‐Mencutek et al, 2022). At the same time, a discrepancy appears between the narrative about the state as a guarantee of stabilisation and the delegation of duties and tasks to lower (local) levels.…”

The unprecedented influx of migrants triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine posed a major challenge for neighbouring countries. For the local authorities of the cities where the migrants arrived, managing the reception of the refugees became a key issue. This article discusses a study on the reception of refugees during the first period of the war in Ukraine in Wrocław, a city that became one of the main Polish hubs of war‐triggered migration. Analysing specific examples of the organisation of activities concerning the aid given to newcomers from Ukraine, we indicate the actors involved in these measures, the range of resources mobilised, the way in which tasks were divided, and the relations between the cooperating stakeholders. The study highlights the key role of agility in managing the issue of reception. However, it is not the quality of the existing system, but the result of the need to develop ad hoc solutions to deal with potential crises. Even so, the flexibility of action, the fluidity of task distribution and the ‘community of the higher purpose’ have enabled effective measures to build the resilience of cities to the threat.
