Economic Attitudes of Migrants in Uzbekistan

Author: Juliev, Z.

Key messages:

- Migration experience is associated with attitudinal shifts toward economic openness.

- Families with migrants show stronger support for private ownership and competition compared to non-migrant families.

- Over time, migrants’ exposure abroad appears to reinforce market-oriented values.

- Policies fostering entrepreneurial ecosystems for migrants can harness these pro-market attitudes for development.
