The results of sociological monitoring of migration activity of university and vocational school students of the Transcarpathian region have been presented in the article. Much attention is paid to the analysis of the main factors that determine the spatial mobility of young people, shape migration behaviour, and influence the intensity of interstate labour flows. To detect migration activity, some questions of questionnaires were focused on studying the intentions and actions of boys and girls in the implementation of their migration plans after graduation, finding out the valuable work orientations associated with the implementation of migration intentions. The research project examines the geographical structure of migration activity and identifies the main recipient countries of migrant workers who respond to young people's perceptions of favourable employment conditions, as well as the frequency of trips abroad and the availability of work experience abroad. Some questions of the questionnaire are devoted to the study of working conditions and duration of work abroad, identification of reasons related to the desire of young people to leave for permanent residence or to continue their studies abroad.
