Migrant Workers in Russia
Global Challenges of the Shadow Economy in Societal Transformation
Russia has a very large pool of economic migrants. Although many migrants entered Russia legally, they frequently face bureaucratic obstacles to legal employment and Russian citizenship, factors which have led to a very large "shadow economy". This book presents a comprehensive examination of migrant labour in Russia. It describes the nature of migrant labour, explores the shadow economy and its unfortunate consequences, and discusses the rise of popular sentiment against migrants. The book also sets the Russian experiences of migrant labour in context, comparing Russia's situation with other countries with significant migrant workforces.
