In these aspects, there are no statistically significant differences between female and male migrants. The only difference is in situations when respondents were taken from the workplace to die Federal Migration Service, which happened to 23 per cent of male migrants and 8 per cent of females.18 Agadjanian and others (2017) showed diat 34 per cent of female migrants from Central Asia had faced ethnicity-based harassment. Migrants in the Russian Federation do not settle in ethnic neighbourhoods but are spread out across cities (Vendina, 2012) so there are no places to avoid discrimination in the "mainstream" housing market (Agadjanian and Zotova, 2011).
