Kyrgyzstan — Baseline and Returning Migrant Worker Survey — Round 2 ( December 2023)

The report presents findings from key informant interviews and surveys conducted in Kyrgyzstan using the International Organization for Migration's (IOM) Mobility Tracking Matrix (MTM) system. Adapted from IOM's Global Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) methodology, MTM aims to collect and analyze data to understand the mobility, vulnerabilities, and needs of displaced and mobile populations for evidence-based migration management.

The study utilized DTM's Mobility Tracking Baseline Assessment and Survey methods. Key informant interviews, conducted with local representatives knowledgeable about migrant situations and mobility, provided insights into the timing, locations, and reasons for migrant worker returns. Surveys were administered to returning migrant workers, covering socio-economic profiles, migration experiences, employment, remittances, general well-being in Kyrgyzstan, and impacts of imposed sanctions.
