Abstract: Based on a standardized interview method, a representative survey of 2,400 households in four medium-sized cities (600 households each) - Velikiye Luki, Pskov Region, Michurinsk, Tambov Region, Buzuluk, Orenburg Region, and Chistopol, Republic of Tatarstan, revealed estimates of the prevalence of labor migration in households of cities of this type. The main comparative characteristics of the households of labor migrants and households whose members do not participate in labor migration are analyzed, to assess the role of field work as a source of household income. The results are compared with a similar method of interviewing households in small towns conducted in 2015 by the INSAP RANEPA. The study also used the results of a survey of 285 labor migrants from medium-sized cities conducted as part of the same study and materials from semi-structured in-depth interviews with 40 labor migrants from the same medium-sized cities. Their analysis revealed the costs of labor migration and the reasons for the refusal of residents of medium-sized cities to work away.
