Abstract
The article is a review of cluster sampling of labor migration in the member states of the CIS in the context of developed countries' experience. The two types of a study are evaluated: the first type uses broad themes along with questions on labor migration; the second type operates through special investigations focused on studying this phenomenon. It is pointed out that regardless of the development of administrative sources of migration data, most of the data can be collected only with a use of cluster sampling. The study of the CIS member states conditions has shown the use inequality of this source. While countries-donors apply investigations to assess non-present population and to study labor migration and return migration consequences, countriesreceivers have limited experience in this field, although the Russian Federation has taken several steps towards improvement recently. The study analyses approaches to target group determination for studies of labor migration and touches upon a question of sampling. The article is prepared within the framework of the Interstate Statistical Committee of the CIS study, the main point of which is not only to summarize data on the CIS labor migration observation, but also to develop recommendations for more effective use of this important source of statistical data.
