Abstract
This article examines and analyzes the system of state regulation of labor migration in the Republic of Uzbekistan for the period 2020-2025 in the context of globalization processes and assesses the effectiveness of ongoing migration reforms. The study utilized a comprehensive approach, including the analysis of statistical data, regulatory legal acts, a comparative analysis of migration flows, and an expert assessment of policy measures. The study found that the number of labor migrants from Uzbekistan decreased from 2.04 million in 2024 to 1.35 million in 2025 (a decrease of 34%). The introduction of an organized employment system increased legal migration by four times compared to 2023. Diversification of migration destinations included new countries: Croatia, Belgium, Slovakia, Serbia, and Montenegro. Uzbekistan's state migration policy demonstrates an evolution from spontaneous to regulated migration, which contributes to the protection of migrants' rights and increases the economic benefits of labor migration.
