Migration aspirations of territory population: A case study of Ukraine

Abstract

The level of positive migration aspirations of the population is determined by the unfavorable socio-economic environment and ineffective management of territory development, in particular the level of deprivation, including labor, security and living conditions. The paper aims to assess the impact of different components of deprivation on the spread of migration aspirations and create the landscape of a territory migration capacity. The methodological tool of the study is a sociological survey (a case study of Lviv Oblast, Ukraine) using a questionnaire (self-administration), which covered more than 500 people. Processing of results is carried out using SPSS software. The results of the sociological survey across migration vectors show the cause-effect relation between positive external aspirations and deprivation components. According to the assessment, the EU countries vector (72.0%) has the highest level of positive migration aspirations by income deprivation, and domestic migration vector – the lowest level (41.0%). The highest deprivation levels among socio-economic, environmental, and medical-demographical conditions for ineffective management of Lviv Oblast was detected for educational services with the level of 3.6 out of 5 possible, moderate level – for living and environmental conditions (2.9 each), and the lowest one for medical services (2.7). The spread of deprivation components at the territory according to the level of positive migration aspirations analysis shown that the highest deprivation levels in Lviv Oblast are peculiar to components such as the quality of medical services (43.4%), income (36.5%), and living conditions (35.1%). This study is of practical value for forming landscape of territory migration capacity including weighed migration aspirations and socio-economic deprivation levels. AcknowledgmentsThe study has been conducted within the framework of Applied Research “Financial determinants of the provision of economic growth in the regions and territorial communities based on behavioral economy” with the support of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine (M.

A study on the influencing factors and response strategies for young teachers from Taiwan to teach in universities in China: a push-pull-mooring model perspective

“…Second, as a qualitative research method was used in this study, further quantitative research methods may be adopted in the future to validate the results of this study. Third, in the future, we may also try to adopt a case or narrative study approach ( Voznyak et al, 2021 ), focusing on a few representative Taiwanese teachers to conduct in-depth interviews and long-term observations to explore the factors that have influenced the push and pull system of Taiwanese teachers’ career development in China or on the mainland at different times and how these factors have changed.…”

Development of Regional Labor Markets in Ukraine as a Tool to Regulate Internal Migration and Reduce Social Vulnerability

“…Migration is both the consequence and factor of impact on socioeconomic development. Therefore, when examining the relationships between socioeconomic development and migration, we must rely on the studies of Bilan (2017), Voznyak et al (2021), and other researchers who explain the factors that are key in terms of decision-making on migration. It helps to understand the problems that lead to migration and substantiate the priorities and decisions of state policy on migration intensity and volume management, demonstrating the positive impact on processes of regions' socioeconomic development.…”

“…This issue is a powerful push factor of migration (Massey et al, 2010). Intensification of migration processes leads to social divisions, weakens the social resilience of families, and aggravates a range of social and household problems for both migrants (Aure et al, 2018) and their family members that stay home (Voznyak et al, 2021). Therefore, migration problems activate and make various aspects of social and labor vulnerability of the population more relevant (Bhagat, 2017).…”

“…The study described below followed in the footsteps of the Lviv School of Regional Research (Mulska et al, 2021;Sadova et al, 2020;Semiv et al, 2021;Levytska, 2022;Vasyltsiv et al, 2020;Voznyak et al, 2021) in the migration theory of push-pull. Therefore, in the context of limited studies on internal migration in Ukraine as determinant of the attractiveness of regional labor markets, there was a need to generate logical information and an analytical system regarding (1) the scale and structural characteristics of interregional disproportions of migration activity, (2) the attractiveness of regional labor markets and employment, and (3) causal links between migration and the attractiveness of regional labor markets.…”

Social and economic development of Ukraine: Modelling the migration factor impact

“…Migration is both the consequence and factor of impact on socio-economic development. Therefore, when examining the relationships between socioeconomic development and migration it is essential to rely on the studies of Ceyhan and Tsoukala (2002), Bilan (2017), Voznyak. Mulska, and Bil (2021) and other researchers who explain the factors that are key in terms of decisionmaking on migration.…”
