Labour Migration in Kyrgyzstan: Background, Trends, Consequences and Regulatory Approaches

Labour migration is a reality of the modern world. There are virtually no countries left in the world that are not involved, to some extent, in migration flows, and for many states, external labour migration has become an important factor in their political, economic and social development. Migration flows are becoming more diverse in terms of types and forms, and migration-related interaction between countries is clearly taking on a qualitatively new character. This book examines the preconditions, trends and consequences of labour migration in Kyrgyzstan, highlights the current challenges of this process, and explores issues relating to the regulation of labour migration within the country and its regions. The publication is intended for a wide readership.
