CHALLENGES AND PROGRESS IN ADDRESSING POVERTY LEVELS IN UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

Currently, the study of reducing poverty, increasing employment and welfare of the population is relevant not only at the global level, but also at one of the most important tasks for the economy of Uzbekistan. In 2022, the poverty level in the republic decreased from 17.0% to 14.0%, and 1 million citizens were lifted out of poverty. In achieving such results, the decisive factor is the ongoing systematic and thoughtful policy aimed at training the population in modern professions, creating decent jobs, andcomprehensive support for entrepreneurship.
