INFORMATION CENTER FOR LABOR MIGRANTS OPENS IN TAJIKISTAN
By empty (1/15/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
An information and resource center for Tajik citizens wanting to obtain jobs abroad opened in Dushanbe on 14 January. The center is an initiative of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), which seeks to prevent many of the problems that have been encountered by Tajiks working abroad because they are unfamiliar with the immigration rules of the countries in which they seek work. The IOM center – located near the Dushanbe railway station from which labor migrants leave for Russia, the favored destination for job seekers -- will provide free consultations, including a 24-hour telephone hotline.
