Repatriation programs: a comparative analysis (based on foreign and Kazakh experience)

Abstract

The article analyzes the global and Kazakh models of ethnic migration. Examples of the problem of
the diaspora, its return, and resettlement to the historical homeland are given. After gaining its independence,
the Republic of Kazakhstan began to pursue its policy as a sovereign state, a subject of the international
community. Since then, the repatriation of our compatriots who have lost their homeland for various reasons
has become a priority of state policy. During the implementation of this policy, there were various difficulties
and issues related to repatriation. It is known that the solution and settlement of these problems have their
own peculiarities. To identify these features, an analysis of electronic databases that register the movement
of repatriates from abroad was conducted. Therefore, the article considers the achievements and problems of
Kazakhstan’s experience.
