MIGRATION ATTITUDES AND A SENSE OF SECURITY IN THE ASSESSMENTS OF RESIDENTS OF THE BORDER REGIONS OF RUSSIA

Abstract

The article examines the migration attitudes of residents of the border regions of the Russian Federation: attitudes related to the lack of plans to change their place of residence and attitudes related to planning a move. The results of the analysis of data obtained during a sociological survey in six border regions of Russia (Altai region, Belgorod region, Voronezh region, Republic of Buryatia, Khabarovsk region, Chelyabinsk region) are presented. It is shown that part of the population is thinking about moving. Residents who have attitudes related to moving planning are, as a rule, representatives of the younger generation; people who are not married and do not have children; the population of small villages or super-large cities; people who assess their financial situation as very poor; those who have already had experience of migration. The main reasons for a possible move are related to improving the quality of life, ensuring the future of children, environmental and climatic conditions.
