Abstract
Migration processes in Kyrgyzstan have played an important role in people’s livelihoods since they were activated in the 1990s. Several economic crises of the transformation period and their resulting rising unemployment and poverty rates, together with a lack of socio-economic securities, cause difficulties in maintaining sustainable livelihoods for many households, especially in rural areas where livelihood opportunities are often limited. Today labour migration is a main livelihood strategy, and migrants’ remittances are one of the main sources of income for many people in Kyrgyzstan.
