- Abstract
- The article provides a comprehensive analysis of labor migration from the Central Asian countries — Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan — positioning it as a key socioeconomic phenomenon that exerts a decisive influence on the economy, employment structure, migration flows to the Russian Federation, transformations over the past 25—30 years, geopolitical crises, and the tightening of migration control. Special attention is paid to the employment structure, demographic profile of migrants, their educational level, and legal status. The paper explores the diversification of migration routes and institutional efforts to organize legal employment abroad. The analysis reveals the need to improve migration policies and legal mechanisms for the protection of migrants. The article also addresses methods for the return and reintegration of migrants within the Central Asian republics through the revival of enterprises and organizations based on the use of local labor and mineral resources.
