Study of Return Migration Processes in the Border Regions of the Russian Federation

Abstract

In the modern world, the study of return migration is quite relevant and requires detailed study. However, it is characterized by some difficulties related to methodology, statistical accounting of return migrants and others. In this regard, many aspects of return migration remain incompletely investigated and require additional attention from scientists. This article reviews the results of studies, the conclusions of scientific articles describing the specifics of return migration in the Russian Federation, the motives for the return of compatriots, and the factors influencing the process of return migration. It also presents some of the results of a sociological survey (2020-2021, n=2540), which was aimed at studying return migration in the border regions of Russia.
