Abstract

The article examines the factors and scale of labor emigration from Tajikistan to Russia. As well as the impact on the GDP of Tajikistan of remittances from Russia of Tajik labor migrants and their role in the formation of the labor market and the creation of new jobs in the Republic of Tajikistan. Traditionally, the main directions of labor migration for citizens of Tajikistan in recent years have been and remain the Russian Federation, the Republic of Kazakhstan and some CIS countries. There is no need for citizens of Tajikistan to obtain visas to these countries, since there is an agreement on a visa-free regime between Tajikistan and the CIS countries. The role of Tajik migrants' remittances in the socioeconomic development of Tajikistan, including households and individual regions, is very large, and Tajikistan is among the leading countries in the world with a high share of migrant remittances in the gross domestic product. Russia remains the main channel of emigration for Tajiks, and it is from Russia that most of the remittances of Tajik emigrants are sent. The motivating factor for the transfer of funds is the fact that migrants take care of their family, loved ones, those left at home: spouses, children, parents and members of wider family and social circles.
