More than 400 thousand jobs will be created for returning migrants in Uzbekistan

Almaty. December 2. Silkroadnews - In Uzbekistan in 2015 will create 409.5 thousand jobs for migrant workers who want to return home, according to the materials of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Republic, KazTAG.
In the framework of the program to create jobs and provide employment in 2015, the bulk of the jobs for returning migrants will be created in seven regions of the country. In particular, migrants will be able to get a job in the community, or to start their business. At the same time they will receive support from the government of Uzbekistan and commercial banks.
As measures to encourage repatriation, the government will provide migrant workers "zero" value or rent for unused state property and land released by the demolition of unused objects, for production or service delivery. As an investment in such projects will be considered income received by migrants during employment abroad.
The program also stipulates that commercial banks will allocate migrants small loans to create and develop their own business, which workers can organize using their skills learned during migration.
In July, the media reported that the government of Uzbekistan has strengthened promotional activities for the return of migrant workers from CIS countries, mainly from Russia. In particular, Prime Minister Shavkat Mirzijaev issued a decree ordering the state authorities in the regions to compile a list of all working abroad and provide them with jobs in the community at home. In November, the Senate of the Oliy Majlis (upper house of parliament) of Uzbekistan approved a program to create jobs for 2015, providing employment for 987.5 thousand people.
It is estimated that currently outside the country with 30 million population, work 6.4 million people (nearly one-third of the working population), mainly in the Russian Federation.
