“…The decades leading up to the coronavirus pandemic were marked by dramatic changes in the nature of cross-border population movements: the once most common settlement type of movement gave way to temporary and increasingly circular migration. The latter, in turn, was overtaken in dynamism by nonmigratory (without changing the country of residence) mobility, in particular, international tourism [ 1 ]. Now, under the influence of the large-scale digitalization of modern societies, accelerated by the pandemic, or rather by anti-epidemic restrictions on human flows, telemigration is gaining momentum and an increasingly noticeable scope, when the employee, as it were, leaves for another country without actually doing so.…”

Under virtual labor migration, or telemigration, in the expert community it is customary to understand remote work or the provision of services that are carried out in a cross-border format. The presence of the word migration in this term logically prompts us to consider the designated process in a migration context. From the standpoint of the concept of migration transition, the spread of virtual migration can be interpreted as a new link in the chain of mobility transformations generated by multifaceted digital transformations. With this kind of migration, a person crosses only virtual borders of states and, without leaving the country of residence, actually works outside it and performs the tasks of a foreign customer in a remote electronic mode. The short duration and rapid turnover of most jobs in cyberspace makes this process extremely circulatory, uncharacteristic of traditional labor relations. So far, this employment model has been limited in scope, but it is rapidly developing, having gained great momentum in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and may become significant in the future. While paying dividends to workers and employers interacting in global digitalized labor markets, virtual migration simultaneously exacerbates chronic imbalances and generates new sources of social tension. They are connected, among other things, with the global asymmetry of socioeconomic and digital development, the emergence of new factors and areas of competition for workers in the labor market, and insufficient social protection of the workers. Optimization of the development of virtual migration could be facilitated by comprehensive regulatory measures at the level of international organizations, states, and companies.

“…Migration may be defined as a spatial movement that involves temporary or permanent change of one's usual place of residence from one defined geographical area to the other at any given time (Baubock, 2013;Tanle, 2014;Tsapenko, 2018). Migration can be international or internal which is further classified into seasonal or permanent.…”

In Ghana, migration has traditionally been dominated by males leaving women and children behind until thelate 1980s when females begun to migrate independently. Consequently, there is paucity of literature on theexperiences of left-behind husbands whose wives had migrated internally. Using the Nandom Municipality as acase study, 331 left-behind husbands responded to a survey questionnaire while 15 others participated in indepthinterviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using both descriptive statistics and a binary logisticregression while content analysis based on common themes was employed to analyze the qualitative data thatwere transcribed. The study shows that the left-behind husbands, who were mostly subsistence farmers withprimary or no formal education, approved their wives’ decision to migrate based on economic reasons. In theabsence of their wives, most men experienced challenges in cooking, drawing water, cleaning the home,shopping, sowing/planting, weeding, harvesting and carting of farm produce home or to the market for sale. Inparticular, husbands who were older, had secondary education or had younger children experienced morechallenges in the absence of their wives. As a coping strategy, most of the left-behind husbands relied on supportfrom the extended family members in both household chores and some farming activities. From the findings,there is the need to provide children of both sexes with the same socialization process to curb gender division oflabour in the Nandom Municipality. It is also important to promote female education and skilled training toreduce out-migration of females from the Nandom Municipality.

“…History abounds with such examples. A good neighbourhood stimulates cross-border contacts, trade, labour migration (temporary migration, cross-border commuting) [25][26][27][28] and academic mobility [29], pulling migrants to border regions [30]. The impact of a coastal location is also two-edged [31].…”

Attractiveness of the Kaliningrad region: pull factors and reasons for disappointments of migrants from Russian regions

The Kaliningrad region’s attractiveness to migrants results in increasing external (international) and interregional migration. The interregional flow is a major contributor, accounting for approximately 60 per cent of the net migration gain. However, the age composition and professional qualification of migrants from other regions of Russia do not fully agree with the specifics of the region’s labour market and its strategic socio-economic development priorities. This lends urgency to a selective regional migration policy aimed at prospective internal migrants. Yet, the picture of pull, push and hindering factors remains incomplete, being limited to generally accepted drivers such as coastal location and proximity to EU countries. This article aims at a detailed analysis of reasons to migrate to the region, an assessment of the restrictions and difficulties faced by relocatees and migrants’ satisfaction with the new place of residence. Methodologically, the study uses a mixed strategy: formal data collection methods are combined with respondent selection techniques peculiar to qualitative or expert methods. The authors draw on the results of an exploratory survey conducted in December 2021 with a view to analyse migrants’ perception of the Kaliningrad region before and after their arrival and assess how their ideas change. The survey applied mixed research methods: respondents were recruited via social media and relocatee groups. The data analysis reveals a gap between migrant expectations and reality, identifying the causes of inconsistency between the incoming migration flow and the region’s development objectives and labour market needs. Based on the findings, the authors provide recommendations for a migration policy based on an accurate picture of the region and aimed at attracting the required workforce, as well as at migrants’ adaptation and support at the new place of residence.
