Title

External Labor Migration Processes in Uzbekistan

Abstract

In order to increase the efficiency of providing employment of the population in the republic, special attention is being paid to the creation of new jobs along with the regulation of processes related to labor migration. The position of Uzbekistan towards the international labor markets has tangibly changed in recent 8.5 years under President Shavkat Mirziyoev. Active participation of the country in the international labor market is now considered to be a comparative advantage of Uzbekistan as well as one of the important components of its foreign economic activity. However, during the participation in these processes, along with positive results, there are also some undesirable situations and problems. Regulation of labor migration processes is of urgent importance in preventing them. In new circumstances, the Republic of Uzbekistan has favorable conditions for using digitization opportunities to support labor migrants.
