Abstract

Background. In demographic processes, a significant place is occupied by such a type of immigration as the return of representatives of the indigenous population to the mother state. Many states, including Kazakhstan, adopt special programs aimed at adapting immigrants to the host society. However, the integration of kandas (fellow countrymen) into Kazakh society is not always painless for both the repatriates themselves and the local population.

The aim of the study. To justify the need for a pragmatic approach to immigration in modern Kazakhstan, taking into account new risks and challenges.

Materials and methods. The methodology for studying social phenomena and interactions in concept is based on classical approaches: the theory of structural functionalism, symbolic interactionism, conflict theory, the theory of communicative action. To collect primary social information, qualitative and quantitative methods of sociology were used: statistical information analysis, focus groups, interviews, questionnaires.

Results. The resettlement of ethnic Kazakhs from farand near-abroad countries and their settlement in Kazakhstan affect the change in the demographic structure of the regional population. On the one hand, mostly young people of active, working age arrive, who can contribute to the economic development of the country. On the other hand, not all immigrants have the working qualifications necessary for a particular region. The conditions of turbulent social processes and complicated geopolitical situation require a pragmatic approach to immigration, which takes into account education, profession and other characteristics of immigrants.

Conclusion. Resettlement processes in manpower-surplus areas require special attention from the authorities. It is necessary to look at resettlement processes as a tool for solving socio-economic problems. First of all, these objectives include improving the well-being of the local population living in these regions and reducing risks and challenges for the state.
