Assessment of the Impact of Migration Processes on the Socio-Economic Development of Namangan Region

Migration has become an important structural factor influencing the socio-economic development of Namangan region, Uzbekistan. The region combines rapid population growth, a large labor force, persistent outward labor migration, and increasing dependence on remittance-related household income. This study assesses the multidimensional impact of migration on regional economic growth, employment, household welfare, human capital, and investment. The research applies descriptive statistical analysis, comparative analysis, correlation-based assessment, and an econometric framework linking migration intensity and remittance flows with gross regional product (GRP) and employment. Official statistical data indicate that Namangan's GRP increased from 68,915.7 billion soums in 2024 to 85,419.0 billion soums in 2025, while the region's population exceeded 3.0 million. The findings suggest that migration has a dual effect: it reduces short-term pressure on the local labor market and generates household income through remittances, but persistent outward migration may weaken human-capital accumulation and constrain long-term regional productivity.
