The most mobile, as expected, are people of working age (over 16 years before possible to collect social security): there are 6.2 thousand among those who arrived in the Republic of Kazakhstan, 23.6 thousand among those who left for good, another 11.1 thousand who arrived and 9.1 thousand those who left were children and adolescents under 16; 0.7 thousand who arrived and 1.5 thousand who left are pensioners.
In the ethnic context, among the arrivals, the most are Kazakhs: 4.5 thousand people. Another 1.7 thousand arrivals belong to ethnicities of Russian Federation, and 217 people are Karakalpaks. The majority of people who left are white: Russians (25 thousand people), as well as Germans (2.4 thousand) and Ukrainians (2.3 thousand) left.

Karakalpaks and Republic of Karakalpakstan.

I know a Bulgarian expat. He told me that when the wall came down in 1989 the country’s population was 7 million.
A decade later a million of them had gone abroad.
