TRENDS IN MIGRATION PROCESSES AS A FACTOR IN INCREASING CONFLICT

Abstract

The article considers population migration as a complex complex process studied by specialists in many specialties. It is noted that migration and security are not only direct but also feedback, ie security measures of states affect the movement of the population. The main trends in population migration in Ukraine between the last census of the Soviet Union in 1989 and the first independent Ukraine in 2001 were: a decrease in the general level of population mobility; reducing the intensity of migration ties with the former Soviet republics; expanding contacts with the countries of the post-Soviet camp; acquisition of more "family" migrations; emergence and development of new forms of migration movements for the post-Soviet space. After 2014 and the events in Donbass and Crimea, another reason was added - forced migration due to the hybrid war. The forecasts of changes in the population of Ukraine, migration of Ukrainians abroad and the arrival of migrants and refugees to our country by 2050 according to Ukrainian research institutes are considered.
