The head of state was presented with proposals on issues of streamlining migration and supporting migrant workers, UzA reports.
According to these proposals, the Agency for External Labor Migration under the Ministry of Employment will be transformed into a management body in the form of a state institution.
The director of the agency will simultaneously be the Deputy Minister of Employment and the head of the Fund for Support of Migrant Workers.
In the embassies and consulates of our country in the UK, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Japan, it is planned to introduce the position of labor migration attaché, and in Saudi Arabia – the position of agency representative.
To quickly resolve the problems of our citizens abroad, 24-hour call centers will be organized at embassies and relevant ministries.
In accordance with the principle “work abroad begins with the mahalla,” the khokim’s assistants and youth leaders will identify those who want to work abroad and enter their data into the “Online Mahalla” platform.
Candidates will be invited to competitions for foreign employers.
Vocational training and targeted training will be organized in vocational education institutions for citizens who do not have professional skills or knowledge of the language.
For this purpose, a center for teaching foreign languages and targeted preparation for work will be opened at the Agency for External Labor Migration.
Individuals wishing to work abroad face certain costs. Now part of the costs for a work visa, tickets, assessment of foreign language knowledge and professional qualifications will be reimbursed by the state.
A citizen who has received an international language certificate or its equivalent will be reimbursed 50 percent of the costs of learning the language.
The issue of assistance in finding employment for citizens returning from labor migration is important. In particular, based on the experience of Saykhunabad, they will be provided with financial assistance for running household plots and generating income, as well as other employment services will be provided.
Banks attached to mahallas will provide preferential loans within the framework of the “Continuous Support for Small Business” program.
Medical institutions will provide free medical examinations for returning migrants and their family members.
Inson centers will provide social assistance to children whose parents work abroad.
An enterprise that hires people who have returned from labor migration will receive a monthly subsidy in the amount of 500 thousand soums from the Employment Support Fund for each employee throughout the year.
This year, 100 billion soums will be allocated for these events from all sources.
