Женская трудовая миграция в Россию: численность, страны-доноры, ниши на рынке труда
The article presents a comprehensive description of female labor migration to Russia in the late
2010s based on data from various sources – official statistics (Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation),
Sample Survey of Migrant Labor (Rosstat, 2019), and a large-scale sociological survey of labor
migrants (2017). The share of women in flows from different countries was determined, the main countries
that are donors of female labor migration were identified, the annual number of female labor migrants was
estimated, the employment spheres of female migrants from abroad in the labor market of the Russian Federation
were analyzed. The author estimates the average annual presence of female labor migrants in Russia
at one million. Despite the global trend for feminization of labor migration, in Russia, a noticeable increase
in the number of foreign women workers should not be expected, since donor countries with an initially high
proportion of women in the flow are losing their leading positions.
