Abstract

Article deals with two sociological survey results of foreign labour migrants and indigenous peoples communities in 2020 in Chukotka. Survey results of foreign labour migrants made it possible to update a foreign labour migrant profile in Chukotka. It turned out that Chukotka attracts highly qualified migrants into labour market segment “production and distribution of electricity, gas and water”. Chukotka is also known as the territory of traditional residence of indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North (ISPN).Survey results of indigenous peoples’ communities made it possible to understand labour market perspectives for indigenous peoples. Thus, survey results have shown that indigenous peoples in Chukotka are mainly engaged in traditional occupations for indigenous peoples (75 %), while other 25 % work in occupations of social sector. Survey results also provided information on perspective occupations for indigenous peoples such chum keeper, fish processor, smoker, foam machine operator, and refrigerator service master. Demographic trends analyses also showed that 2 out of 7 municipalities – Pevek and Chukotsky municipality – are facing a serious out-migration while Anadyr is getting more attractive for senior citizens rather that youth. Both survey results as well as statistic data helped us to update picture of both natural (birth rate) and mechanical movements (migration) of people in Chukotka
