Massey whose main ideas allow analyzing social and labor activity and mobility of the population, as well as the specificity of labor migration in the Russian Federation. The problems of modern human mobility assume the complex analysis which considers each concrete phenomenon in a wide context of the general dynamics of the relations and interactions of various spatial levels.

According to the works of Douglas S. Massey, Professor of sociology and public relations of Princeton University, member of National Academy of Sciences, the migration can be defined, on the one hand, as a powerful economic and demographic resource and globalization consequence, and on the other hand, migrants are low-qualified labor resources or forced migrants who pose threat to safety and stability.

Massey forms tools for studying the problems of illegal migrants, and the ideas of the synthetic theory allow to designate a methodological framework of the analysis of labor migration in the Russian Federation.
