Russia's Ministry of Economic Development has launched a proposal that redefines foreign labour migration as a temporary relationship: The workers will come to fill labour shortages, work, and then leave the country.. This policy provides that the families of migrants are not permitted to be present during this temporary work stay.
The principle summarised by the Minister of Economic Development is “Come — work — earn — get dressed”, according to the newspaper Izvestia. This initiative seeks to address the labour shortage affecting various sectors of the Russian economy.
Social control and limits on public services
Parallel to the minister's statements, the parliamentary faction Just Russia – For the Truth has promoted a legislative initiative to to prevent the family members of immigrant workers from settling in the country. The MPs who support the proposal They argue that the presence of families increases pressure on public health, education and social welfare services.. The new policy therefore aims to reduce social costs and simplify immigration management.
The authorities consider that this model of temporary migration will facilitate the rotation of workers and will prevent long-term root growth. The new policy arrives in parallel with a key date: The deadline to legalise undocumented migrants in Russia expired this month.. Those who are in the country without papers will be enrolled in a Special register of monitored persons. Inclusion in this register entails significant restrictions, such as being prohibited from marrying, obtaining a driving licence or enrolling children in nurseries and schools.
End of the legalisation of immigrants in Russia

Those who are in the country without papers will be enrolled in a Special register of monitored persons.

The most recent statistics show the magnitude of the educational problem. According to official sources, 871,000 foreign children have been excluded from the Russian education system., whether due to failing exams or difficulties with documentation. This percentage highlights the government's orientation towards limiting migrants' family integration and to to focus only on their contribution as a workforce.
Russia bets on temporality and control
With this measure, Russia reinforces a model of labour migration based on temporality and strict control. The country seeks cto open up the labour shortage resulting from its demographic situation and of the needs of certain economic sectors, but at the same time It wants to reduce the pressure on social services, schools and healthcare..
Human rights organisations warn that the lack of family and educational prospects can exacerbate labour exploitation, marginalisation and to make Russia a less attractive country to emigrate to.
