Number of labor migrants registered in Azerbaijan grows.
The State Social Security Fund reported that since early year number of foreign labor force increased by 13.1%. By July 1, 2013 their number reached 15,824 people.
Majority of them are Turkish citizens (9,621 or 60.8% of all labor migrants), then come Georgian citizens – 1,723 and then Russian citizens – 799.
Iran (514 people), China (390), India (381) and UK (234) are relatively active. The labor migrants from 97 world countries are officially registered in Azerbaijan. But this figure does not reflect the reality. Many foreign residents brought to build big investment objects are not registered by the migration service.
The obligatory registration of foreign citizens by the Social Security Fund started on January 1, 2006.—0-
