00:01As aging populations reshape labor markets in Europe and millions of young workers enter the job market in Central Asia,
00:09migration is becoming an increasingly important economic link between the two regions.
00:14Today, around 304 million migrants live and work outside their countries of origin,
00:20according to date provided by International Organization for Migration during Tashkint International Migration Forum.
00:27Europe actually needs workers because of the demographic decline and at the same time because so many go to Europe,
00:33they will send money back to the countries of origin, so it's a win-win.
00:37The imbalance is pushing governments to move away from irregular migration
00:42and towards more structured recruitment systems based on international agreements.
00:47We have to find proper migrants in other countries because otherwise our economy will not grow anymore.
00:55In Central Asia, labor migration is also moving towards a more organized and policy-driven model.
01:01More than 1.2 million Uzbek citizens currently work abroad, while remittances reached nearly 17.5 billion euros in 2025.
01:24European business groups say the approach could help address labor shortages by preparing workers before arrival.
01:32It's really important to train people here in Uzbekistan.
01:35They learn the Italian habits, they learn Italian, they arrive in Italy, they already have some basis,
01:41and of course they have some professional skills.
01:44Officials say the aim is to create more predictable and regulated labor mobility between Central Asia and Europe.
01:51There is growing demand in Europe for legal, skilled migration, while many countries are strengthening training systems and migration pathways.
02:01For Central Asian countries, the goal is to diversify labor markets and shift towards more regulated, skill-based and legally
02:09protected mobility.
