This study provides an original qualitative analysis of how contemporary labor migration trends shape and interact with Ukraine’s education system. While extensive research analyzes the economic and political impacts of Ukrainian migration, few studies examine its influence on domestic educational processes. Thus, this study helps fill this gap through the in-depth examination of migrants’ motivations, particularly the desire to finance quality education for children. By elucidating these understudied connections, the study aims to inform education policies and partnerships that leverage migration’s developmental potential while mitigating the risks of brain drain.

This themed section of Dve domovini / Two Homelands illuminates significantcontemporary migration and labor migration trends in the post-Soviet space.Ukraine has experienced substantial emigration in recent decades, spurred byeconomic uncertainties and the conflict in eastern Ukraine since 2014. Labor migrationis a major phenomenon, partly facilitated by Ukraine’s visa-free access to the EU,which provides more opportunities for temporary work abroad (Kortukova, 2021).However, large-scale emigration of working-age Ukrainians poses risks of “braindrain” and other socioeconomic impacts (Spanger & Andersen, 2023). Kazakhstanhas also seen substantial emigration and immigration, mainly to and from neighboringcountries like Russia and Uzbekistan, for economic reasons. Newly restrictiveresidence permit regulations in Kazakhstan may alter these longstanding migrationdynamics within the region. Japan is gradually easing some of its previously strictimmigration policies to fill acute labor shortages in the construction, home healthcare,and agriculture sectors. However, tensions remain around the integration ofmigrants into Japanese society. Public attitudes do not always align with governmentefforts to accept more foreign workers (Liu, 2023). Meanwhile, many Tajiksengage in temporary cyclical labor migration to Kazakhstan, working in trade sectorslike markets or transportation. Their collective family-based migrant enterprisesdemonstrate resilience in the face of challenging conditions, though restrictive andunpredictable migration policies in Kazakhstan create precarity.

At a particularly delicate historical juncture, namely, the post-pandemic one, wherethe topic of migration is regaining importance on different socio-political-economiclevels, Migration and Torture in Today’s World brings to the center of research interesta concept inextricably linked to the migration phenomenon: torture. Throughan analysis of torture in its broadest sense, including the inhuman and degradingtreatment of migrants, this volume edited by Fabio Perocco—which followsthe volume Torture and Migration (2019, Edizioni Ca’ Foscari)—compiles twelvecontributions (including a rich introduction to the volume by Perocco himself)of heterogeneous content focusing on different perspectives on the correlationbetween migration and torture. Each author contributes through multi- andinter-disciplinary works to create a multidimensional analysis of the phenomenon,helping the reader to deconstruct the complexity of the different scientificapproaches toward a common interpretative strand and a homogeneous reconstructionof the migration-torture theme.
