The influence of family status and ethnicity on of the population (on the example of the Republic of Bashkortostan)

The current issues surrounding migration and population mobility are subject to active study and analysis within both domestic and international literature. Concurrently, greater attention is accorded to the socio-economic and demographic aspects, factors and causes of migration processes and social and labour relations. Consequently, as with any social phenomenon, the labour and migration mobility of the population is influenced by a number of additional factors, including those that are not economic in nature. In this article, the authors examine the influence of two factors: family status and belonging to a particular ethnic group. The objective of this article is to ascertain the impact of ethnicity and family status on the labour mobility and migration behaviour of the population of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The empirical basis of this article is formed by the results of two sociological surveys: “Quality of Employment and Human Development” (2020) and “Ethnic Features of Employment and Labor Mobility of the Population of the Republics of the Russian Federation” (2024). The study focuses on individuals belonging to the three largest ethnic groups in the Republic of Bashkortostan, aged between 18 and 64 years, and residing in the region on a permanent basis. The three largest ethnic groups in the Republic of Bashkortostan are the Bashkirs, Russians, and Tatars. The findings of our study indicate that family and marital status exert a considerable influence on the labour trajectory and migration mobility of the population. While belonging to a particular ethnic group is significant, its impact is less pronounced in the context of the Republic of Bashkortostan, where it is more closely associated with the distinctive characteristics of rural or urban settlement of ethnic groups. The authors of the article concede that the influence of ethnicity on labour and migration mobility of the population may be less pronounced or, conversely, more pronounced in other Russian regions, republics or countries.
