Migration population growth as an indicator of economic development of the region
The article examines the migration processes as an integral part of the market economy, characterized as highly debatable topic leading to both positive and negative consequences for the region. In Kursk region in the last decade a constant increase in migration flows was found out, which allows the region to develop at the expense of already-trained workforce. The main tools of research are the analysis of time series, allowing to trace changes of values in the study period, and correlation and regression method on the basis of which the degree of influence of various factors on a productive indicator is determined. The study shows clearly the dynamics of the activation of migration pro-cesses, especially in recent years due to the socio-economic situation in Ukraine. The study also discusses some of the positive and negative sides of migration flows, which arise due to the uneven distribution of migrants on the territory of the region. The paper discusses the impact of migration growth on the development of the economic sector in Kursk region. As the main indicator of the impact of migration as a factor the level of per capita income is used. Throughout the study period, this indicator increases, indicating no negative effect of growth in the number of migrants on the income of the population in the region. The reduction in real incomes is a consequence of a general structural crisis in the economy of the country, which was not significant for the reduction of migrants from the territory of Ukraine.
