“…This study, focusing on Kazakhstan, also examines research into the dynamics of human trafficking in the Central Asian region. Studies such as "A conducive context: Trafficking of persons in Central Asia" (Kelly, 2013), as well as the work of other researchers (Jackson, 2006;Abdurazakova, 2011;Lee, 2013;Marat, 2009;Delovarova et al, 2013;Mohapatra, 2013;Sulaimanova, 2004) provide insight into regional characteristics that exacerbate vulnerability to trafficking, including economic inequality and political instability.…”

Kazakhstan, with its open borders with CIS nations and significant migration flows, emerges as a key origin, transit, and destination point in human trafficking. While acknowledging Kazakhstan’s modest progress in combating human trafficking, this study aims to develop comprehensive proposals for enhancing the protection of trafficking victims’ rights in Kazakhstan. It seeks to identify legal and enforcement gaps, analyze available social and legal protections, and address key issues in victim rights protection. The study aligns with the burgeoning academic discourse on human trafficking, which has significantly influenced policy and methodological approaches in estimating trafficking prevalence. It encompasses research focusing on defining human trafficking, factors contributing to its incidence, and evaluating the effectiveness of countermeasures. Addressing a relatively nascent area of research in Kazakhstan’s context, this study will enhance existing knowledge and contribute to developing effective anti-trafficking strategies within the country. The overall assessment underscores a lack of consistency in Kazakhstan’s approach to its mandate to curtail human trafficking. Despite this, the study presents a promising path forward, concluding that with the introduction of a dedicated anti-human trafficking law and strategic organizational reforms, substantial advancements could be realized to reinforce legal accountability and prevent such exploitation.

“…That makes Tajikistan the top remittance-receiving country in the world as a share of GDP. In Tajikistan the disparity between high rates of population growth with less economic opportunities, migration proved an effective way to earn livelihood in Russia which offers higher salary to these immigrant labourers (Mohapatra, 2013). Remittances help households diversify their source of income, reducing their vulnerability to adverse poverty (Mughal, 2007).…”

Human trafficking, for the manipulation of migrant labour, is a violation of human rights. The spike in human trafficking is partly due to the rapid expansion of labour migration in the neoliberal period. The former Soviet zone has become one of the world's major human migration sections in the last decade. The article analyses the case of migration and trafficking in Tajikistan as remittances amounted to nearly half of the country's gross domestic product. In Tajikistan, lack of economic prospects, increasing poverty level, presence of blurred boundaries, leads to the cycle of illicit migration flows which resulted in human trafficking. Human trafficking is a multidimensional issue exacerbated in the countries of destination by poverty and gaps in economic openings versus unmet labour hassles and stern migration commandments. The migration of the Tajik people shortly began after the independence of the country and largely to support subsistence to the families leaving behind. Majority of these migrants prefer Russian federation as their main destination to work where corruption and human trafficking problem is huge. There are limited governing bodies to regulate recruiters' activities, so migrant workers are at the mercy of recruiters who are known to charge exorbitant fees that indebted migrant worker before arriving in their destination countries. Labour trafficking is a global humanitarian issue but there is scarcely any quantitative research on the issue. This study examined labour abuse indicators among migrant Tajik workers in the Russian Federation and the subsequent human trafficking risks with fresh vulnerabilities created by the economic crises and the covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

Migration in India is both a historical and present phenomenon. Migration in India is mostly influenced by social structures and pattern of development. Various uneven development policies by all the governments since independence have accelerated the process of migration. In Uttarakhand, migration is one of the major contributors to urban growth, because of limited opportunities of economic development within the region; male members of family are migrating in large numbers to the urban and industrial areas in the plains in search of employment. This serious problem of migration leads to work burden on women after male out-migration. This paper aims to find out the perception of women about the push determinants of migration. A total of 220 respondents were studied in the present research. It was evident from the result that the respondents perceived that lack of employment opportunities as the major push determinant. It was also found that respondents agreed that the other push determinants like inability to meet basic needs, increased household expenses, inability to meet educational expenses and medical expenses were other main reasons to leave the rural place. Rural-urban migration can be controlled on a large scale if the government will provide all kind of support to the rural migrants for getting their livelihoods and provide them basic amenities for a descent standard of living at the rural areas as like as its urban counterpart.
