The Central Asian Republic of Kazakhstan is seeing an unending stream of ‘legally’ abandoned children. As many as 2,000 infants are relinquished every year in accordance with a family law that seems to reflect the nation’s socialist history. The number is particularly high in the capital of Astana where large-scale development is attracting people from the regions coming in search of work. Many babies resulting from encounters between such men and women end up being legally abandoned. The program delves into this troubling social problem by looking at a children’s home for “relinquished” infants and a mothers’ home for solo mothers who have decided to keep their babies.

The Dordoi Bazaar in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek is Eurasia’s largest. It is a key way-stop on the route by which Chinese products travel to Russia and Central Asia. But the bazaar faces major change, as Kyrgyzstan joins the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) led by Russia. Before, import and export taxes were very low, and the intermediary trade of the bazaar blossomed. Having joined the EEU, however, import tariffs on Chinese products are expected to soar, which will have a massive impact on sales. Merchants are troubled, with some choosing to downsize their business, or close up shop altogether. As China’s “One Belt, One Road” strategy unfolds, and the country turns its attention to Central Asia, small landlocked Kyrgyzstan is stuck between 2 giants. By looking at the Dordoi Bazaar, we’ll examine the pressures faced by merchants throughout Kyrgyzstan.
