Abstract

The article analyzes the main trends of international migration in the context of globalization and the role of Kazakhstan in global and regional migration flows. Globalization, manifested in various aspects of society, significantly affects international migration, which has become a global phenomenon, impacting almost all countries and regions of the world. Growing volumes of migration flows affect socio-economic processes and are a pressing issue for many countries. Therefore, this issue attracts the attention of scientists and politicians. Statistical data on international migration flows from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the International Organization for Migration were used as data sources, including the World Migration Report 2024. In addition, data from open sources was used, such as materials from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Labor Organization and the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic planning and reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
