Evaluation of migration mobility based on sociological research data in Ukraine

Abstract

Migration mobility: subject field, measurement instruments, application. In the absence of reliable instruments for control and accounting of irregular forms of interstate migration , including migration from Ukraine to the non-CIS countries , estimates of migration flows voiced by experts and broadcast by domestic mass media are contradictory . Hence there is a need to use interdisciplinary methods to monitor and forecast migration, including methods offered by sociology. It is important to agree upon the terms and categories to be used in research. It is also important to correctly interpret sociological data illustrating public mindset with regards to various aspects of migration.
