The rows in this dataset are categorized by duration: the number of people engaged in temporary work for up to half a year can be compared with those who stayed abroad for up to a year. This distinction helps identify the proportion of seasonal migrants versus those planning longer stays. Comparing these groups provides insight into the nature of Russian labor activity in other countries
