CHAPTER 6 CONCLUSION
6.3 Future research
The future research should be done on Buryat diasporas in other countries, particularly Asian countries, such as Japan, South Korea, China, etc. The number of Buryats living there is quite high, higher than in Taiwan, due to proximity, economic development and job opportunities. It is interesting to study the differences between Buryat diasporas in those countries, since their reasons of migration might be completely different. For example, most of Buryat migrants in South Korea moved there because of work. Labor in South Korea is highly paid and most of the employers provide accommodation and food for the employees, which make the lives of Buryats much easier. The majority of Buryats went to China to study and decided to stay in China to work, since they speak Chinese and the salary is much higher than is Russia.
Also, the future research may include different age groups, comparing the responds of younger and older generations. Older generations tend to move because of job opportunities, due to unemployment in Russia. Younger generations tend to move in order to obtain academic degree, travel and explore the world. In addition, it is harder for elders to learn a new language, youngsters, on the other hand, can learn really fast.
Buryat diasporas in other countries in Europe might have completely different responds from Buryat diaspora in Asian countries, since the collectivistic and individualistic cultures are different. In this research, Buryat diaspora in Western Europe feel more alienated. The future research may confirm or oppose these findings.
