KAZAKHSTAN TAKES STOCK OF MIGRANT-LEGALIZATION PROGRAM
By empty (8/28/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Some 24,000 migrant workers have profited from a Kazakh program to legalize the status of unregistered migrant workers that got under way earlier this summer. The program, which will continue until the end of the year, is expected to legalize 100,000 workers, mainly from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Russia. Under the program, recently arrived illegal workers are able to receive migration cards and work legally.
