Abstract

Today, in the process of ever-expanding migration, the share of women is also increasing. This article aims to reveal the causes and indicators of women's migration in the Khorezm region, their negative impact on the family and child upbringing. The methods of analysis and synthesis, scientific abstraction, systematic and comparative analysis, chronological analysis, monographic observation, and field research were used in writing the study. During the field study, interviews were conducted with responsible officials in 10 districts on the topic. Their conclusions were used to illuminate the topic. Previously, women participated in migration as partners, but now they are looking to earn money as the main breadwinners. However, it was found that women's migration has more negative consequences for families and children than men's migration. In the Khorezm region, the largest share of women's migration abroad is occupied by women aged 30 to 45. This means that the migration of women of childbearing age and mothers with children is high. This affects the upbringing of children in the family, and changes in the educational environment in the family also change the moral and educational environment in society.
