Abstract

Growing destructive migration characteristics of the current stage of social and economic development of Ukraine prevent the formation of a resource base for ensuring economic security. The article proves that international migration (intellectual, labour, and stationary migration of youth and families), as well as the latest forms of business, intellectual property, and technology migration, have become critical, threatening the sustainable development of the national economy (they deepen socio-demographic disparities and pose a threat to national and economic security due to the loss of resources, complication and deterioration of economic reproduction and revitalization processes). To ensure effective migration regulation and achieve a positive impact of these processes on strengthening the economic security of the national economy in Ukraine, an appropriate toolkit for state regulation of migration according to the components of economic security is proposed. Its introduction makes it possible to ensure the implementation of strategic priorities for the development of the national economy. Strategic vectors of implementation of migration regulation policy in the context of functional components of the system of ensuring economic security are determined: increasing the export potential, increasing the role in the international division of labour through the mobilization of labour resources; reducing the level of energy dependence of the national economy through the development of the internal energy complex and the use of alternative energy supply sources; overcoming systemic problems of sustainable development and forming an environment of economic freedom; technological modernization of the real sector of the economy and development and increase of employment in new types of economic activity in the context of globalization; strengthening of demographic stability by measures of spatial-structural policy and realization of the potential of internal migration; increase of the export potential of the agro-industrial complex in the system of the world food market; ensuring of financial stability at all levels of economic relations; approximation of the quality of life to the EU standards and reduction of social tensions in society; creation of conditions for innovation and technological development, increase of competitiveness of innovative strategic sectors of the economy.
