Abstract

The article "Regulations of Modern International Migration and Peculiarities of Its Regulation" is devoted to the analysis of general regulations and issues of modern international migration. It presents information and analysis of international migration according to the types and separate regions. A special focus is given to the formation of a system of state measures at the national level on regulation of external labour migration. The article attempts to identify the rational elements of the regulation which can be applied to the migration policy of the Republic of Belarus. The article contains conclusions on the necessity of the consideration of the global problem of international migration and of the correlation of migration policies not only on the bilateral level. The article also supplies information and identifies some problems of current illegal migration including the situation in the Republic of Belarus. While exploring the manifold impact of import and export of labour force on the countries-"donors" and hostcountries the article focuses on the fact that several branches of the economy of western states are in dependence on import of the labour force and in the majority of states migrants are considered as a certain stock-absorber in case of crisis and unemployment. Besides, the industrial states try to keep the pensions and social programmes on a certain level in the conditions of the low birth-rate and reduction of a number of the employed with the help of immigrants. When considering the system of state measures on regulation of the external labour migration, the article concentrates on the trend of quantitative restrictions of immigrants, on the establishment of labour immigration limitations on the profession, qualification, sex and age basis and the duration of residence in the country. An agency has been set up within the OBCD to monitor international migration. It coordinates the activities of national immigration bodies of the member-states.
