%0 Report %A Abdulloev, Ilhom %T Changes in the Forsaken Schooling and Migration Relationship in Tajikistan %D 2020 %8 2020 Jul %I Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) %C Bonn %7 IZA Discussion Paper %N 13435 %U https://www.iza.org/publications/dp13435 %X We examine how the forsaken schooling phenomenon in migration evolved over time in Tajikistan. After completing compulsory schooling at ages 16-17, young men in Tajikistan are forsaking professional education because of opportunities to migrate for higher paid low-skilled jobs in the Russian Federation. We study how the forsaken schooling effect changed because of migrant-receiving Russia's recent tightened migration policy and economic slowdown, and policies promoting fair access to professional education in migrant-sending Tajikistan. %K migration %K traps %K education %K skill
