ABSTRACT
The chapter is devoted to the analysis of labor migration processes in SCO countries. Based on statistical material, an assessment of labor migration in the participating countries is given. The interregional experience of SCO members in the regulation of labor migration is analyzed. The main attention is paid to the legal support for the regulation of international labor flows at the national and supranational levels. An analysis of the regulatory documents of migration flows in SCO countries shows that labor migration is out of the focus of attention and ensuring the social and labor rights of migrants is not an urgent agenda of the SCO itself. Most of the important international labor standards for migrants are not implemented in the national legislation. The cooperation of countries with total population of almost one-third of humanity and with significant markets and economic potential determines the search for ways to create a more attractive and free market for hired labor. The purpose of this chapter is to identify the main problems that need to be solved in this direction, to show the possibilities and conditions for deepening cooperation and institutional development. The authors conclude that there is a need for international interaction between SCO countries in matters of labor migration, namely, the creation of a regulatory framework, the exchange of information and analytical materials, and the best world practices in the field of organized regulation of labor migration.
