Family and Transnational Mobility in Post-Soviet Central Asia available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Since the end of 1990s Russia has become a major country of destination for migrants from Central Asia. They are employed in the construction sector, public transport, maintenance, restaurant and catering services, but also small trade, and agriculture. Focusing on migrants from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, this book shows that the transfers of resources between receiving and sending countries in migration go far beyond financial remittances. Through a systematic analysis of migrant kinship at both ends of migration, it shows that in the context of migration, concepts of nuclear family, gender, customs, and traditions are challenged and may even cause tensions of social and symbolic nature between migrants and their dependent families. This study looks at transnational mobility in the context of post-Soviet transformation. Migration scholars have for recent years been engaged in a debate as to what extent international migration can influence economic, social and political development in sending countries. In view of the current increase in interest in the migration-development nexus, this study, too, contributes to the scholarly discourse with findings from Central Asia.

Migration and Social Upheaval as the Face of Globalization in Central Asia available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Since the start of the 1990s, Central Asia has been the main purveyor of migrants in the post-Soviet space. These massive migrations due to social upheavals over the last twenty years impact issues of governance; patterns of social adaptation; individual and collective identities; and gender relations in Central Asia. This volume raises the importance of internal migrations, those at a regional, intra-Central Asian, level, labor migrations to Russia, and carries us as far away to the Uzbek migrants based in Istanbul, New York, or Seoul, as well as to the young women of Tashkent who head to Germany or France, and to the Germans, Greeks, and Jews of Central Asia who have returned to their “ethnic homelands”. Contributors include Aida Aaly Alimbaeva, Stéphanie Belouin, Adeline Braux, Asel Dolotkeldieva, Olivier Ferrando, Sophie Hohmann, Nafisa Khusenova, Erica Marat, Sophie Massot, Saodat Olimova, Sébastien Peyrouse, Luisa Piart, Madeleine Reeves, Elena Sadovskaya.

Labour, Mobility and Informal Practices in Russia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book explores the daily survival strategies of people within the context of failed states, flourishing informal economies, legal uncertainty, increased mobility, and globalization, where many people, who are forced by the circumstances to be innovative and transnational, have found their niches outside formal processes and structures. The book provides a thorough theoretical introduction to the link between labour mobility and informality and comprises convincing case studies from a wide range of post-socialist countries. Overall, it highlights the importance of trust, transnational networks, and digital technologies in settings where the rules governing economic and social activities of mobile workers are often unclear and flexible.

Strengthening Support for Labor Migration in Tajikistan available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Migration for work is an important livelihood option for many households in Tajikistan due to limited job opportunities. Remittances from migrant workers significantly supplement the country’s foreign currency reserves, but the economic crisis and worldwide shutdown induced by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have caused international migration flows to fall, and remittances are projected to decline significantly. This publication reviews the state of international migration out of Tajikistan and identifies the impact of COVID-19 on the movement of people and migrant workers, in particular. It also reviews international best practices and proposes appropriate predeparture programs, post-return services for Tajik migrants, and ways to address migrate worker issues related to the pandemic.
