IMPACT OF ABOLISHING QUOTAS ON UZBEK MIGRANTS IN RUSSIA’S LABOR MARKET

This study explores the dynamics of Uzbek labour migration to Russia and examines the interplay between geopolitical events, political changes and the resilience of diasporic communities. The study examines the unexpected increase in labour migration in 2023 and highlights the adaptability of Central Asian migrants amidst challenges. The historical context of the abolition of quotas at the end of 2022, its impact on labour shortages and market dynamics, and the role of skilled workers after the abolition of quotas are discussed. In addition, the study looks at the socio-economic factors driving this migration trend and the responses of the Uzbek and Russian governments. The study also examines the challenges faced by Uzbek migrants, such as exploitation, legal issues and conflicts in Ukraine, and highlights the global impact on diasporic communities. It provides a comprehensive overview of their socio-political and economic situation and focuses on coping mechanisms and community support systems that promote their resilience. Ultimately, this study seeks to improve studies on the global diaspora by providing a comprehensive analysis of Uzbek labour migration and highlighting the complicated dynamics of the global diaspora.
