Among the most pressing issues are several controversial and unresolved issues, such as employment policy, migration in the context of economic reform, as well as the impact of migration processes on the demographic situation in the country as a whole. Nowadays, scholars have not reached a consensus on issues related to international migration. On the one hand, some scholars see this process as quite positive for the country and its economy as a whole, but other scholars believe that the migration process, despite all its positive, also has a number of serious shortcomings, ignoring which can lead to catastrophic consequences. International labor migration is an integral part of the world's economies, but practice shows that this process is difficult to control and has not been fully studied by the international scientific community. Migrant workers, working in the countries of destination, contribute to the development and economic growth of the latter, gaining experience, professional skills, experience, and a certain amount of currency, which in turn contributes to the development of the country of origin of migrants.
