CONTEMPORARY FAMILY OF LABOR IMMIGRANTS AS AN OBJECT OF SOCIO-PEDAGOGICAL WORK IN UKRAINE

Abstract

Having analyzed the contemporary labor immigration in Ukraine and challenges it poses for the family, the most important institute of the child’s socialization, the author defines and supports the topicality of so- cio-pedagogical work with families of the immigrants. This category of families is regarded as a risk-group, malfunctioning due to irregularities in performing vital family functions; there has been also studied the issues of the distant migrant families and their impact on the child as well as peculiarities child’s socialization in case of parental deprivation. The necessity of focused and systematic work with this type of a family is proved by the author’s research conducted in 2002-2015, which allows not only to outline the problems of the child’s social formation within the distant family, but also to register retarded consequences of parental deprivation in the child’s adult life.
