👥 The host countries’ societies do not always appreciate a seemingly obvious fact: migrants are not just a “workforce” or some “median population.”
They move from one country to another in search of jobs and better life opportunities. They have their own problems and vulnerabilities.
Usually, this understanding comes when countries receive large numbers of migrants. This was the case in West Germany after it implemented its guest worker programmes in the 1960s. This is happening now in Russia, a country that became the centre of a vast Eurasian migration system relatively recently, with the collapse of the USSR. It rapidly turned into one of the world’s largest immigration systems – alongside those in North America, Western Europe and the Middle East (centred on the Persian Gulf).
Over 281 million people, or about 3.6 percent of the planet’s population, are now involved in the processes of international migration. This is 128 million, or three times more than in 1990.
Thus, international migration is exerting an enormous influence on the demographic dynamics, labour markets and socio-economic processes – both in host states and countries of origin. The academic community as well as politicians and journalists tend to approach migration as a macroeconomic process, ignoring the needs of individual migrants.
Meanwhile, it is no less important to see how migration affects the destinies of individual migrants and their family members, not just the economies and societies that are involved in migration processes, write the authors of the new Valdai report, titled “The Social Problems of International Migrants”.

Programme of the Conference of the Valdai Discussion Club “Religious Polyphony and National Unity”
On November 24, Kazan will host a Valdai Discussion Club conference, titled “Religious Polyphony and National Unity”. The main task of the conference is to discuss the secret to maintaining stability within multinational and multi-confessional societies.
📆 ANNOUNCEMENT: On November 17 at 12:30 pm Moscow time, the Valdai Club will host an expert discussion on the issue of technological sovereignty in the modern world.
In the context of unprecedented external sanctions, Russia has paid special attention to the formation and maintenance of technological sovereignty. The priorities of scientific and technological development have already been determined, the efforts of the state and business community to finance scientific research are being consolidated, and personnel are being trained for the new economy. Despite limited access to Western technology, there is a window of opportunity for the accelerated development of Russian scientific and technological potential.
Other countries and regions are also interested in rolling out technological sovereignty. The European Union aims to master key advanced technologies in the field of microelectronics, quantum computing, artificial intelligence and lockchain. China is betting on the development of artificial intelligence, quantum science and the production of superconductors, while India is actively developing the semiconductor industry and electronics.
At the same time, technological protectionism and a low level of knowledge sharing persist in the world. This state of affairs leads us to think about the measures necessary to ensure technological development and analyse the experience of individual countries and regions.
❓How sovereign is Russia technologically?
❓Which countries should Russia turn to in order to learn from experience?
❓What measures should be taken to achieve technological autonomy in the EU and in Asian countries, and how effective are they?
These and other questions will be discussed by the participants of the discussion.
🎙Speakers:
🇷🇺 Ivan Danilin, Head of the Department of Science and Innovation, IMEMO RAS
🇳🇴 Glenn Diesen @glenndiesen, Professor at the University of Southeast Norway (Norway)
🇮🇳 Arvind Gupta, Head and Co-Founder of Digital India Foundation
🇷🇺 Stanislav Kulbyatsky, Deputy Director of the National Centre for the Development of Artificial Intelligence under the Government of the Russian Federation
