85% of all labor immigrants from Uzbekistan end up in the countries of the Commonwealth

Experts estimate the number of labor immigrants from Uzbekistan (legitimate and illegal) at 1-1.5 million and the figure increases by 5-8% every year. Tong Jahonim, the international organization that researched labor immigration between 2003 and 2006, claims that three regions of the Ferghana Valley alone provided up to 250,000 immigrants every year even though the authorities withheld the permission to leave the country to almost 90,000 potential labor immigrants in 2005 because of the tragic events in Andijan.

According to official estimates, 85% of all labor immigrants from Uzbekistan end up in the countries of the Commonwealth. This is the structure of labor immigration from Uzbekistan in 2004 (data provided by Tong Jahonim):

%South Korea 4.7

%Turkey 1.3

%EU countries 0.6
