Migration Patterns of the Population in Kyrgyzstan
Migration Patterns of the Population in Kyrgyzstan Martin Schuler, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland Schuler Martin (2007), Les migrations de population en Kirghizstan, in : Espace. Populations. Sociétés. Les populations d’Asie centrale. 2007-1, p.73-89 ; 1. Migration – a Complex Social and Individual Phenomenon To analyse the sphere of migration in Kyrgyzstan means to threat the development of this country. Kyrgyzstan throughout the whole 20th century has been an important destination for immigrants not only from different parts of the Soviet Union, but also from other countries of the world. The majority of the population that not are Kyrgyz natives are immigrants or children and grandchildren of those who came to Kyrgyzstan from other countries. In fact this is the case to such a point that the identity of the inhabitants of the Republic is marked by the contentiousness of personal experience of family or group of history of geographic movements. This is still the case, even if in the 70s and 980s and to some extent even the 90s have been periods of decreasing mobility as will be shown later in this article. The majority of the population is geographically mobile during their lifetime. Migration is linked to people’s personal goals of social and economic integration and professional ambitions. However, migration can also be seen as a strategy of economic progress or for the survival of a family or a group. Thus, migration is a result of individual and collective decisions to find better living conditions in a broad sense: housing, economic opportunities, social integration or safety. -
