Issues of re­cog­nising mi­grant work­ers' social vul­ner­ab­il­ity for en­sur­ing the right to health­care in the Cent­ral Asian region

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

M.N. Tazhi­yeva and A.S. Myta­lyapova ex­am­ine the social vul­ner­ab­il­ity of mi­grant work­ers in Kaza­kh­stan in the con­text of real­ising the right to health pro­tec­tion. The study con­cerns the re­la­tions sur­round­ing the re­cep­tion of mi­grant work­ers from for­eign coun­tries and their in­teg­ra­tion into key sec­tors of the na­tion­al eco­nomy. The au­thors say that chan­ging mi­gra­tion pat­terns create a need to de­vel­op mi­gra­tion and reg­u­lat­ory le­gis­la­tion in health­care and social se­cur­ity.
