ОСОБЕННОСТИ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНОЙ МИГРАЦИИ В СТРАНАХ ТАМОЖЕННОГО СОЮЗА

The article describes the types of student migration and methodological approaches to its study. The global trends in educational migration and the development of this process in Belarus in the period 1999–2014 are analyzed. The countries of origin are highlighted, and factors that contribute to attracting educational migrants to the Republic of Belarus are indicated. One of the characteristic trends in the development of the modern education system is the rapid growth of student migration throughout the twentieth century. The scale of academic mobility and academic migration has steadily increased throughout the world. But it was at the turn of the XX and XXI centuries. this type of mobility is becoming a massive global phenomenon. The Republic of Belarus clearly demonstrates the growing student mobility: there is an increase in both incoming and outgoing educational migration. In the period from 1999 to 2013 the rate of outgoing student mobility has increased by more than 5 times. The growth rate of incoming mobility is not as significant. The number of arriving school migrants is increasing year by year, but the rate of growth of incoming mobility over the past 8 years has been declining. From 2005 to 2014 In Belarus, more than 100 thousand foreign students were educated. In 2016, 100 thousand Kazakhstanis studied at foreign universities. In the 2018-2019 academic year, the number of foreign students has reached 23 thousand people, by 2020 it is planned to increase their number to 50 thousand people. For three years in a row, Russia has been accepting 15,000 foreigners for free tuition at several hundred universities in the country in 659 different areas and specialties. The British company QS recently placed Russia on the 26th place in the world for the quality of the higher education system. In 2016, the competition among foreigners was 4.5 people per Russian budget place, reports Rossotrudnichestvo.El artículo describe los tipos de migración estudiantil y los enfoques metodológicos para su estudio. Se analizan las tendencias mundiales de la migración educativa y el desarrollo de este proceso en Bielorrusia en el período 1999-2014. Se destacan los países de origen y se indican los factores que contribuyen a atraer migrantes educativos a la República de Bielorrusia. Una de las tendencias características en el desarrollo del sistema educativo moderno es el rápido crecimiento de la migración estudiantil a lo largo del siglo XX. La escala de la movilidad académica y la migración académica ha aumentado constantemente en todo el mundo. Pero fue a comienzos de los siglos XX y XXI. Este tipo de movilidad se está convirtiendo en un fenómeno global masivo. La República de Bielorrusia demuestra claramente la creciente movilidad de los estudiantes: hay un aumento en la migración educativa entrante y saliente. En el período comprendido entre 1999 y 2013, la tasa de movilidad de estudiantes salientes ha aumentado más de 5 veces. La tasa de crecimiento de la movilidad entrante no es tan significativa. El número de migrantes escolares que llegan aumenta año tras año, pero la tasa de crecimiento de la movilidad entrante en los últimos 8 años ha ido disminuyendo. De 2005 a 2014 En Bielorrusia, se educaron más de 100 mil estudiantes extranjeros. En 2016, 100 mil kazajos estudiaron en universidades extranjeras. En el año académico 2018-2019, el número de estudiantes extranjeros ha llegado a 23 mil personas, para 2020 se planea aumentar su número a 50 mil personas. Durante tres años consecutivos, Rusia ha estado aceptando a 15,000 extranjeros para la enseñanza gratuita en varios cientos de universidades en el país en 659 áreas y especialidades diferentes. La compañía británica QS recientemente colocó a Rusia en el lugar 26 en el mundo por la calidad del sistema de educación superior. En 2016, la competencia entre extranjeros fue de 4,5 personas por presupuesto ruso, informa Rossotrudnichestvo .В статье описаны виды студенческой миграции и методологические подходы к ее изучению. Проанализированы глобальные тенденции образовательной миграции и развитие этого процесса в Беларуси в период 1999-2014 гг. Выделены страны происхождения, указаны факторы, способствующие привлечению в Республику Беларусь образовательных мигрантов. Одной из характерных тенденций развития современной системы образования является быстрый рост студенческой миграции на протяжении всего ХХ века. Масштабы академической мобильности и академической миграции неуклонно возрастают во всем мире. Но это было на рубеже XX и XXI веков. этот вид мобильности становится массовым глобальным явлением. Республика Беларусь наглядно демонстрирует растущую мобильность студентов: увеличивается как входящая, так и исходящая образовательная миграция. За период с 1999 по 2013 год показатель исходящей мобильности студентов увеличился более чем в 5 раз. Темпы роста въездной мобильности не столь значительны. Число прибывающих школьных мигрантов растет из года в год, но темпы роста въездной мобильности за последние 8 лет снижаются. С 2005 по 2014 год в Беларуси обучалось более 100 тысяч иностранных студентов. В 2016 году в зарубежных вузах обучалось 100 тыс. жителей Казахстана. В 2018-2019 учебном году численность иностранных студентов достигла 23 тыс. человек, к 2020 году планируется увеличить их численность до 50 тыс. человек.

Age Differentiation of Interregional Migration Exchange in the Republic of Bashkortostan

The article considers the issues of participation of different age groups in interregional migration exchange in the Republic of Bashkortostan during 2016-2020. The main directions of interregional migration are analysed based on official statistics. The regions with the closest migration ties are identified; the age structure of migration flows to these regions is characterised. The migration intensity of individual age groups is revealed. The interregional migration exchange of Bashkortostan is characterised by age differentiation. The age structure of migration flows from Bashkortostan to individual entities of the Russian Federation differs, indicating the migration attractiveness of certain regions for different categories of the population. The interregional exchange of the republic leads to significant migration losses among young age groups, which weakens the reproductive and marriage potential of the region. Therefore, it is necessary to create such measures of regional social and migration policy that would contribute to the preservation and development of the socio-demographic potential of the Republic of Bashkortostan.В статье рассмотрены вопросы участия разных возрастных групп в межрегиональном миграционном обмене Республики Башкортостан в течение 2016–2020 гг. На основе данных официальной статистики проанализированы основные направления межрегиональной миграции; выделены регионы, с которыми установлены наиболее тесные миграционные связи республики; охарактеризована возрастная структура миграционных потоков в эти регионы; выявлена интенсивность миграционного движения отдельных возрастных групп. Для межрегионального миграционного обмена Башкортостана характерна возрастная дифференциация. Возрастная структура миграционных потоков из Башкортостана в отдельные субъекты РФ отличается определенными особенностями, что свидетельствует о миграционной привлекательности тех или иных регионов для разных категорий населения. Межрегиональный обмен республики ведет к значительным миграционным потерям среди молодых возрастных групп, что ослабляет репродуктивный и брачный потенциал региона. Следовательно, необходимо формировать такие меры региональной социальной и миграционной политики, которые бы способствовали сохранению и развитию социально-демографического потенциала Республики Башкортостан
