The demographic and economic framework of circular migration in Azerbaijan

The brief review shows that the overwhelming majority of Azerbaijani migrants works and stays regularly in other countries; they have poor communication with state agencies, which causes lots of problems for migrants and receiving countries. The same can be said about migrants staying in Azerbaijan. But the main thing is the lack of understanding over circular migration. This understanding can help reduce circular migration and puts irregular emigration and immigration into a legal framework.Consortium for Applied Research on International Migration (CARIM-East) is co-financed by the European University Institute and the European Unio
