Abstract

This scientific article examines the strategic directions for regulating youth labor migration in Uzbekistan through the expansion of productive employment within the national labor market. The study is grounded in the recommendations of the International Labour Organization (ILO) concerning the identification, measurement, and monitoring of productive employment and working poverty. The paper argues that youth labor migration should not be viewed solely as a demographic or external labor mobility process, but also as a manifestation of productive employment deficit, insufficient income levels, and limited access to decent work opportunities within the domestic economy. Based on empirical analysis and international experience, the article proposes institutional and policy mechanisms aimed at reducing working poverty among youth, increasing access to stable and adequately paid employment, and strengthening the role of productive employment as a key instrument for regulating migration flows and ensuring sustainable economic development.
