ЮГО-ВОСТОЧНАЯ АЗИЯ: АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ РАЗВИТИЯ, 2020, №1(46), 147-163

 
Annotation: The existing demographic and socio-economic factors in Vietnam create objective prerequisites for mass departure of citizens abroad, including for illegal migration. The main reasons for illegal migration are economic. Most of the migrants are residents of poor provinces of Central Vietnam, they tend to go to economically developed countries in Europe and especially to the UK. Illegal migration is controlled by transnational criminal groups that are involved in the recruitment. The effectiveness of countering illegal migration depends not only on the targeted work of the authorities of the SRV, but also on other appropriate measures at the national and international levels.
