Abstract

This article describes the author's methodological approach to the study of potential migration activity. The methodology for calculating the migration desires index (MDI) is applied to the data from the sociological panel survey in Lviv (2013-2016, 2018-2019). The index makes it possible to track changes in the population's migration desires over time and across different socio-demographic groups. According to the MDI, the highest desire for emigration can be observed among young men (under 30 years) with higher education. The author uses the concept of the "value-need gap" (the gap between the subjective importance of a certain good and the degree to which this need is actually satisfied) as a tool for studying the most acute problems that can drive international migration. Insights from the study of potential migration activity can be used to develop preventive migration policy measures.(original abstract)
