Monitoring of External Migration Situation in Armenia through Sample Survey Program commissioned by the State Committee of Science of the Republic of Armenia and being currently implemented by Russian–Armenian (Slavonic) University.
The Socio-Demographic Research Center of the Slavonic University (“Research Center”) has been engaged in analyzing migration decisions in Armenia as part of its ongoing Three-Year Program on monitoring migration through collection of household survey data and is therefore uniquely placed to analyze the situation with regards to migration in 2017. The 2017 household survey of migration conducted by “Research Center” is a follow-up survey (repeated cross-section) to those conducted in the years 2015 and 2016.
The survey gives an opportunity to:
- Assess the influence of external migration on living conditions of households;
- Restructure the whole timetable of trips done by migrant members of households prior to the monitoring;
- Measure migration potential of population;
- Analyze separate survey questionnaires for returned migrants and migrants staying abroad to reveal the issues they face abroad and after arrival to Armenia, a cause–effect relationship of the phenomenon, etc.
