Female migrants are increasingly part of flows of migrant workers. Female migrants make up between 43 and 48 percent of the total number of migrants. According to the National Statistical Committee of the Republic, since 2014, women have been increasingly involved in external and internal migration. Now, the number of female migrants in Kyrgyzstan is twice as large as men.
