This article examines the essence, socio-economic significance and multifaceted nature of labor migration, paying special attention to its role in modern Uzbek society. Labor migration is not only an economic phenomenon, but also a social process that affects demographic dynamics, labor market development and household well-being. Labor migration in Uzbekistan has become one of the main mechanisms for job creation and poverty reduction, as it provides citizens with the opportunity to find work abroad and contributes to the growth of the national economy through remittances.

The study analyzes the current regulatory and legal framework regulating external labor migration and identifies priority areas of state policy to protect the rights and freedoms of labor migrants. Special attention is paid to constitutional guarantees, the provisions of the Law “On External Labor Migration”, relevant concepts and programs aimed at supporting labor migrants and their family members. In addition, the article reviews international labor standards and documents adopted by the International Labor Organization (ILO) and other global institutions, highlighting Uzbekistan's efforts to harmonize national legislation with international norms.
