Adaptation of Migrant Children: the Impact of School, Family and NPO

So far Russia has been the main labor platform where people from low-income countries could earn money for their families. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 13 million people have been registered with the migration authorities since the beginning of the 2019. Russian citizenship has received 221 thousand migrants, 50 thousand more than at 2018th. The research of the Center for Youth Studies at the National Research University High School in 2010 have shown that 60 percent of the labor migrants have marriage status. After a while some of the migrants decide to bring their families to Russia. Their children start to study at local schools. However, the lack of statistical data is forced to leave some essential characteristics poorly understood: the limitations in the local system, what reasons cause migrants to live illegally in the Russian Federation, how we can turn the "low labor resources" into the strong factors which will support the system of the state. All this might be solved if the government would pay more attention to the motivation of migration behavior and understand the problems of adaptation of immigrants. This work investigates what practices migrant children face in the framework of three social institutions: family, school, NPO. Object of our study is migrant children. Sample includes children who participate in free classes of the Russian language in the nonprofit organization "Children of the Saint-Petersburg". Sample includes migrants from Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Armenia. The aim of our study is to trace the features of sociocultural adaptation in the framework of three main social institutions. Our work based on the observation during the fieldwork in the nonprofit organization "Children of the Saint-Petersburg". Fieldwork included working as the volunteer since November 2019 and lead 14 classes for 20 migrant children, all the work continued until May 2020. Our sample for the case study and interviews have been drawn among the students of the center. At the end researcher will assess performance of the organization, describe practices and possible limitations.
