Rather than focusing on regulatory and legal aspects determining migration, this note centers on the impacts of migration on the domestic welfare of households in the Kyrgyz Republic. The profiling of labor migration and identification of knowledge gaps are used to inform the development of strategies for more effective and sustainable welfare impacts from labor migration and remittances.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOLIVING STANDARDSMIGRANT FAMILIESLABOR MIGRANTSIMMIGRANTHOUSEHOLD SIZEWORKFORCEECONOMIC GROWTHWORK FORCEWAGE GAPMIGRATION POLICYSPOUSEURBAN POVERTYFLOW OF MIGRANTSINDIVIDUAL WELFARESKILLS DEVELOPMENTREMITTANCELEVELS OF EDUCATIONLABOR FORCEDEVELOPING COUNTRIESIMMIGRANTSHOUSEHOLD POVERTYECONOMIC IMPLICATIONSRETURN MIGRATIONFAMILY MEMBERSINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATIONNATIONAL LEVELSOCIAL ASSISTANCEVULNERABILITYGOVERNMENT SUPPORTSAFETY NETSACCESS TO EDUCATIONKNOWLEDGEBENEFITS OF MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONDOMESTIC WORKERSLABOR MARKETHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTSEGMENTS OF SOCIETYCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTTECHNICAL ASSISTANCEGENDER GAPTRAININGEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTHOST COUNTRIESWORKING POPULATIONCITIZENMIGRATIONAGE DISTRIBUTIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMENUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSNUMBER OF MIGRANTSHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSDEPENDENCY RATIODEPENDENCY RATIOSMIGRANTSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTELDERLYFEMALE LABORPROGRESSFOREIGN REMITTANCESUNEMPLOYMENTHOUSEHOLD LEVELHUMAN CAPITALMIGRANTPOLICIESWHOPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPENSIONSDIVORCEGENDERPOLICY MAKERSLABOUR MIGRATIONSOCIAL PROBLEMPURCHASING POWEREDUCATIONAL CHOICESSAFETY NETINTERNATIONAL MIGRANTRURAL POVERTYURBAN AREASEDUCATION OF CHILDRENPULL FACTORMIGRANT WORKERSSECONDARY DEGREEPOPULATIONSHOUSEHOLD BUDGETINTERNAL MIGRANTSPOLICYCITIZENSINTERNATIONAL MIGRANTSGOVERNMENT PROGRAMSMIGRATION POLICIESSOCIAL STATUSNUMBER OF WORKERSPOLICY BRIEFHOST COUNTRYRURAL AREASPULL FACTORSINTERNATIONAL MIGRATION REVIEWLABORERSINTERNAL MIGRATIONYOUNG PEOPLEPOPULATIONLABOR SUPPLYMARITAL STATUSCOUNTRIES OF DESTINATIONSTUDENTSMIGRANT POPULATIONSPURCHASING POWER PARITYPOLICY RESEARCHUNSKILLED WORKERSNATIVE POPULATIONDOMESTIC POVERTYINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKREMITTANCESIMPORTANT POLICYSECONDARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATIONPOLITICAL INSTABILITYLABOR MIGRATIONMIGRATION STATUSINEQUALITYMIGRANT HOUSEHOLDSReportWorld Bank10.1596/22960
