Abstract: Abstract— 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.
