Does Russia need foreign labor?

The term "foreign labor" was, until the end of the last century, only political scientists in the lexicon, but now it is used by a huge number of people. Moreover, in Russia now are considered gastarbeiters of those who used to be just a compatriot. If to speak briefly, then yes, foreign labor in Russia is needed for many reasons. This is not disdain in the West, where the influx of emigrants from the former colonies can not be stopped, nor, for example, in the United States, where even illegal immigrants are already converted into Americans.

The next global factor that was the reason for the rise of more than one developing economy of the world is, I apologize for the tautology, the developing economy itself. Any economy that wants to grow up must be seated on a drug called "foreign labor". Otherwise, such an economy is called developed, that is, one that has nowhere else to develop more broadly, but only needs to go deeper. Such a comparison will always be lame, but, in fact, it is true.

It is no secret that, on the one hand, the demographic situation in the Russian Federation, and on the other hand, the largest land territory, determine the internal policy of the state. More than once it was said that in some places on the external borders of the Russian Federation there is a sharp imbalance in the population density - China in this respect is not the only state. The positive effect that the foreign labor force can give is here: there is already some positive experience of the penetration of foreigners in the Urals and in Western Siberia, where the shortage of workers is pathological.

In addition, the reason, which is complex, is nothing else than the natural wealth of Russia. It is not far off that time when the state of oil and gas production will become secondary, even in terms of budget.

If the country considers it necessary to survive as a state, as a formed set of nations, then the attitude towards people will have to change radically. But the role that the foreign labor force will play will remain the same. In any state there should be a certain category of population whose work would be evaluated at the bottom, but which would be involved in the sectors of the economy that bring real profits. Without this, the creation of national wealth is simply impossible.

Finally, a purely quantitative factor also plays an important role. The point here is that in the presence of people in any region, its natural development takes place. Any person needs some minimal living conditions, food, communication, rest, finally. Therefore, each of these aspects entails the activities of other people, the development of the local massachaba business, etc.

Thus, by issuing a work permit to any foreigner, Russia automatically creates new jobs and attracts investments directly to the regions where these people settle. Perhaps someone will argue that this is unprofitable from the economic point of view, but no state in the world will ever give up a cheap labor or, which is now becoming more relevant, from attracting a skilled workforce (formerly the States and Western Europe, And now - Brazil and China).
