Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the theoretical and methodological foundations for developing migration capital management models within the system of ensuring the economic resilience and consumer security of the state. Particular attention is paid to examining the impact of migration capital on socio-economic development, the functioning of the domestic consumer market, the welfare of the population, and the resilience of the national economy under contemporary challenges. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the conceptual principles and develop migration capital management models aimed at strengthening the economic resilience of the state and enhancing the level of consumer security. The research employs both general scientific and specialized methods, including analysis and synthesis, a systems approach, structural and logical analysis, comparison, generalization, and modeling. The information base of the study consists of scientific works by domestic and foreign scholars, analytical reports of international organizations, and statistical data on migration processes and labor migrants’ remittances. The results indicate that migration capital exerts an ambivalent and asymmetric influence on both economic resilience and consumer security. It has been established that migration-related resources contribute to sustaining domestic demand, improving the financial well-being of households, stimulating investment activity, and strengthening economic resilience. At the same time, excessive dependence on migration income may intensify structural, price-related, social, and institutional imbalances in the consumer market. The study develops conceptual models of migration capital management that integrate both individual and territorial levels of regulation and include socio-consumer, investment-stimulating, stabilization-security, institutional-regulatory, and integration-network components. It is substantiated that the effective utilization of migration capital requires the development of legal remittance channels, stimulation of migrants’ investment activity, support for re-emigration processes, integration of migration resources into the social insurance system, and enhancement of their contribution to domestic market development. It is proven that the implementation of the proposed approaches will contribute to strengthening Ukraine’s economic resilience, improving consumer security, and creating preconditions for the country’s long-term socio-economic development.
