| Abstract: | This article deals with the micro-level considerations leading to the decision to migrate within the former Soviet Union. Based on a survey and focus group of minorities in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, hypotheses are specified from the theoretical literature on migration centred on economic and political/national factors with their interaction. It is shown that economic factors were of primary importance in explaining people's decisions and political factors were rarely sufficient to produce migration. |
