ECONOMIC SYSTEM CONVERSION AND MIGRATION TRANSITION IN RUSSIA

Review of Urban & Regional Development Studies, 1997, vol. 9, issue 1, 20-36

Abstract: This paper examines migration changes in Russia due to the transition of the economic system. As expected, great changes in migration patterns occurred in Russia. The correlation coefficients between federal investment and interregional migration are positive and large during the Soviet period, indicating that political incentives played a major role in migration patterns in the USSR. However, the regional development policy implemented in the Soviet era may not have been socially efficient in causing migration inflows and excess labor supply in the Far North regions. In addition, it can be said that the government could not control population flows perfectly even in the planned economy.
