Abstract

The paper analyzes the position of international migrants in the Russian labor market. Probabilities of employment and employment vulnerability (informal employment, lowskilled employment) are used as indicators of the position on the labor market. The empirical basis of the work is the microdata of the survey "Sample Observation of Labor of Migrants", conducted by Rosstat in 2019. The results of the econometric analysis show that, other things being equal, the probability of being employed is higher for migrant men than for native men. For women, there is an inverse relationship - probability of employment of migrant women is significantly lower than the probability of employment of native women. The same results were obtained for subsamples of migrants depending on their length of stay in Russia. With the increase in the duration of migrants' residence in Russia, the difference in the employment rate of migrants and the native population is reduced, but do not disappear completely. The significance of this relationship decreases with the increase in the period of stay of migrants in Russia. The probability of informal and low-skilled employment for migrants staying in Russia for more than five years does not statistically differ from similar indicators for natives. The results obtained for the entire sample are, on the whole, qualitatively preserved for certain socio-demographic groups of the population.
