Tajikistan calls work in Russia dangerous for migrant workers
Migrants complain of health problems when working in Russia.
People arriving from Tajikistan are infected with tuberculosis.
The Asia-Plus portal reports that labor migration is destroying the health of residents of Tajikistan. This includes those who go to work in the Russian Federation.
When they return home, they complain about difficult working conditions and limited access to health care.
Thus, in 2022, 19% of all cases of tuberculosis in Tajikistan occurred among people who came from work.
In addition, migrants experience loneliness and isolation while abroad, which leads to the development of depression and anxiety disorders.
Experts conclude that labor migration undermines health and is dangerous.
On September 10, the Embassy of Tajikistan recommended its citizens to refrain from traveling to Russia. This is due to increased control at the border.
