         At present, there are serious changes in the world market conditions, international competition is intensifying in the period of globalisation. Under these conditions, the economy of Uzbekistan is also undergoing new serious and qualitative changes. Outdated economic institutions and instruments are being replaced by modern, innovative and effective management methods. In order to ensure stable and rapid development of the country, the Development Strategy of Uzbekistan for 2022-2026 has been developed and is being gradually implemented. This strategy is mainly aimed at improving the quality and standard of living of the population of Uzbekistan. Increasing the economic growth rate of the country and the development of the national economy largely depends on the efficiency of the productive forces, which are the main wealth of any State. Effective labour not only remains a key factor in the development of the economy, but also fulfils the function of ensuring the well-being of people and meeting their needs.

         This publication serves from a scientific and practical point of view to  fulfil  the tasks  as to ensure employment and create new jobs specified in other regulatory and legal documents, particularly, in the field of labor, the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated June 8, 2021 “On measures to further improvement of the system of personnel training for working professions” No. PD-5140, dated September 5, 2023  No. PD-450 “On additional measures to support certain categories of people with social needs and  their employment” and Decree No. PD-82  dated June 1, 2023 “On quality social service and assistance to the population and comprehensive measures to establish an effective control system”.
