Abstract

this article examines the dynamics of social progress in Uzbekistan, with a particular focus on employment prospects in the context of ongoing economic reforms and demographic changes. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative analyses, the study explores how factors such as education, urbanization, and government policy influence job creation and employment rates. It highlights the challenges faced by various demographics, including youth and rural populations, in securing stable employment. Furthermore, the article discusses the implications of these findings for sustainable development and social equity in Uzbekistan. By providing insights into the interplay between social progress and employment opportunities, this analysis aims to inform policymakers and stakeholders about strategies to enhance workforce participation and economic resilience.
