Abstract


The article deals with the problems of the expansion of international educational migration in modern conditions. It is emphasized that the economy of many countries in the world is facing the problems of loss of educated youth and the growing demand for attracted educated immigrants. Higher education in countries is considered as an area of increasing exports of educational services and a factor of attracting prospective international students as potential specialists for the national economy. Educational migration and academic mobility have been identified as forms of educational migration. Factors of influence on the increase of intensity of international educational migration are established. The authors study the main trends of educational migration flows from the point of view of their impact on both donor and host countries. The dynamics of the number of students entering and leaving the borders of some developed countries are given. It is emphasized that at the present stage of development of the world economy of the country there is a fiercely competitive struggle for young, initiative personnel. Therefore, governments are making changes to the laws of countries to improve the conditions of study, accommodation, and adaptation of foreign students. On the other hand, the authors emphasize the contradictory impact of migration capital on the economy of donor countries. Based on the example of Ukraine, the article analyzes national trends in educational migration. The causes of the widespread educational migration in the country are identified. This is, first, a difficult socio-economic situation in the country, a decline in the quality of national education, an increase in external educational migration. The dynamics of the recent flow of international mobility in Ukraine and the main directions of the direction of the educational migration of Ukrainians are presented. The necessity of state regulation is determined and the main directions of regulation of educational migration in Ukraine in the interests of preservation and development of intellectual capital and securing of competitive positions in the international market of educational services are outlined.
