Migration and forsaken schooling in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan

Ilhom Abdulloev, Gil S. Epstein and Ira N. Gang

Large international earnings differentials negatively impact human capital investments in migrant-origin countries. We find that three Central Asian migrant-sending countries-the Kyrgyz Republic, the Republic of Tajikistan, and the Republic of Uzbekistan-are facing a for-saken schooling phenomenon. Once completing their compulsory schooling, young people in these countries are forsaking additional schooling because of opportunities to migrate to high-paying low-skilled jobs in the Russian Federation. The countries face a loss in human capital formation.
