| Title | Household determinants of labour migration in Kyrgyzstan |
| Summary | The paper is aimed to investigate household determinants of labor migration in order to address social problems that are arising due to labor migration of household members. Negative consequences such as high dependency on remittances and expansion of child labor in migrants’ households are revealed in case of Kyrgyzstan that might have long term costs outweighing short term benefits of labor migration. In order to address such problems labor migrating household should be determined. Therefore, using Linear Probability Model and Fixed Effect regression the correlation between household characteristics and labor migration decision is investigated based on “Life in Kyrgyzstan” research based household survey across 2010-2013. The findings are: income per capita, marital status of household head, number of old dependents are significantly correlated with labor migration. Based on given results the policy recomendations are given to ease social problems in households with labor migrants. |
