Resume

Some theoretical aspects of migration studies are improved. In particular, the definition of migration potential as a part of its human potential is proposed. Its main components are singled out, they are: socio-demographic, economic, social and psychological. The concepts of disposition to migrate and migration readiness are specified. Based on this specification the scheme of analysis of the migration potential of population is made. It can be used at all levels of analysis: enterprises, regional and national levels. The results of a sociological study (survey of unemployed) are presented in the article. It was founded that the main causes of migration are: low wage level, lack of work and the desire to provide a decent standard of living to their children. The results of the study showed a high level of migration potential of unemployed in Lviv. In particular, almost half of unemployed people who seek job tend to migrate abroad, and one in ten of them have clear plans for employment abroad in the nearest future. USA, Canada, Germany are the most attractive for those, who would like to go for a long term or permanent residence abroad. As usual, those respondents, who prefer temporary jobs abroad, chose Poland. For preventing leaching of the most valuable human potential of the country abroad, two key problems should be primarily solved: creating conditions for employment of citizens; increasing of the minimum wage level. In particular, calculations made by us based on the sociological survey, show that the level of monthly salary should be increased five times to become one of the main deterrents of migration. For those who still have the firm intention to emigrate, the state should provide the appropriate level of social protection, primarily by establishing effective cooperation with countries that mostly attract potential migrants.
