Statistical Research on Ways to Increase Employment of The Population of The Republic of Uzbekistan
Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive statistical analysis of the current employment dynamics in the Republic of Uzbekistan, with a particular focus on identifying effective mechanisms to increase employment rates. The research highlights the pivotal role of labor market reforms, the modernization of vocational education, entrepreneurship promotion, and the implementation of state-supported job creation programs. Using official statistical data and trend analysis, the article examines employment and unemployment patterns across various sectors, identifies key challenges, and evaluates the effectiveness of existing policies. Furthermore, the study applies econometric modeling to forecast labor market developments and suggests evidence-based recommendations aimed at enhancing workforce competitiveness, reducing youth unemployment, and fostering sustainable economic growth in the country. The findings underscore the necessity for strategic investments in human capital, digital skills development, and stronger public-private partnerships to build a resilient and inclusive labor market.
