It is reported that this is three times more than the corresponding period last year. It was noted that significant work was done on temporary employment abroad, and the geography of trips expanded to developed countries.

In the second half of this year, it is planned to employ 90,000 people in developed countries such as South Korea, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary.

All this is based on the principle of "work abroad – from the mahalla." By the end of the year, 115,000 unemployed people will undergo training in professions, business skills, and foreign languages.

Previously, a draft order of the Minister of Employment and Poverty Reduction "On Approval of the Regulation on the Procedure for Allocating Subsidies and Compensations to Labor Migrants" was published. This regulation, in accordance with the presidential decree of April 4, 2024, "On Improving Labor Migration Processes and Additional Measures to Support Individuals Engaged in Temporary Employment Abroad," defines the procedure for providing subsidies and compensations to citizens of Uzbekistan.
