Abstract
The aim of the article is to develop certain theoretical aspects of studying adaptation of migrants, as well as to identify the most pressing problems of socio-economic adaptation of forcedly displaced persons in Kharkov (based on the results of a sociological survey). The paper clarifies the essence of the concepts of adaptation and integration of migrants. Among the considered in the work models of adaptation (integration, assimilation, segregation, marginalization) the model of integration is defined as the most optimal for an individual and the whole society. The results of the survey of forcedly displaced persons in Kharkiv showed that the most acute problem for them is the lack of their own housing. The next in the rating of importance there appeared the problems of lack of: money for the most necessary things, work in general and the necessary clothes. In solving their problems forcedly displaced people mainly rely on themselves and on the support of the relatives. In whole the study found positive trends in socio-cultural adaptation of forced migrants. Thus, almost half of them felt important or partial positive changes in their attitude to local residents. In addition, the attitude of Kharkivites to them was currently estimated by the respondents as completely or mostly friendly. Despite this majority of the respondents are eager to return to their small motherland. Their decision and further actions depend on the establishment of peace and territorial integrity of Ukraine. The results of the study described in the article should be taken into account when solving the problems associated with the forced internal migration. The development of scientifically based program of integration and reintegration of internally displaced persons is the prospect of further research on this issue.
