The South Kazakhstan Province is the most densely populated of Kazakhstan’s many regions. This derives from the oblast’s gentler climate, better irrigation infrastructure, and proximity to historical population centers [such as Uzbekistan’s Tashkent and the Silk Road cities of Samarkand and Bukhara]. SKO is also the fastest growing of Kazakhstan’s Province, due to two main factors.
The other is the exodus of cheap migrant labor from northern Uzbekistan.These migrant workers sometimes become full-fledged immigrants, and if they are ethnic Kazakhs this process is easily green-lighted through local governments for an (unacknowledged and under-the-table) fee. As such, South Kazakhstan Province is the only province with a demographic breakdown where ethnic Russians are not in the first or second most populous categories. Census results are old and made using Soviet methods that served propaganda over accuracy, but they still point to Kazakhs being the most populous, closely followed by Uzbeks, with Russians bringing in a distant third.
