Theoretical and methodological aspects of migration processes in the context of economic security of the Russian Federation

Due to the fact that the increase in migration flows increases their impact on various directions in the world economy, the issues of regulating these flows through migration policy, as well as ensuring economic security and the general national security of the State, are becoming increasingly relevant. Therefore, in modern realities, migration issues are increasingly being considered in the context of state security. This is largely due to the illegal component of migration, which carries direct risks, not only related to financial and economic security, but also with political stability. In the Russian Federation, the issue of illegal immigration and illegal labor activity of legal immigrants remains relevant, which in turn affects the growth of the shadow economy and its financial infrastructure (informal money transfer systems). Strengthening the informal financial infrastructure entails an increase in the risks of money laundering and financing terrorism. In this regard, the above aspects in this article are considered comprehensively and investigated from both economic and socio-political points of view.
