Open Society Foundation, International

Labour Migration

Throughout the region, economic dislocation has led millions of adults in the prime of their working years to uproot themselves and undertake difficult, even perilous, journeys in search of subsistence for their families and communities. The main destination for labor migrants from Central Asia and the Caucasus is Russia, though the phenomenon encompasses rural dwellers leaving their remote villages for work in regional cities as well. The poorest countries in the region are increasingly dependent on these migrants’ foreign remittances.
