The study results showed that migration contributes to increased territorial mobility of labor resources, partial improvement of the interregional balance, and acceleration of the urbanization process.In addition, there are risks such as the outflow of highly qualified personnel due to external migration, an increase in the infrastructure burden in large cities due to internal migration, and an increase in informal employment. The results obtained substantiate the importance of improving the mechanisms of effective management of internal migration, ensuring regional balanced development and comprehensive modernization of urban infrastructure.
