Social protection of migrants as a factor of social integration
In terms of increasing migration flows at the international level there sharply arises the issue of integrating arriving migrants in all spheres of social life of the host country. Migrant workers are often left to themselves, deprived of the family environment, they have limited access to information, there are no social ties. One of the instruments of social integration may be inclusion of labor migrant into coverage by state programs of social public protection. Expanding the coverage of labor migrants by the social security system has a number of positive benefits for the host country, but there are also obstacles for implementing this task. Of the main problem in this area is the illegal status of a significant part of labor migrants. In terms of the current trends in the framework of international cooperation the system of compulsory social insurance in the Russian Federation is gradually adapting its facilities for expanding the coverage of foreign labor migrants.
