Abstract
In this perspective article, the theoretical and methodological basis of the household services sector an element that is key to socio economic development is explored. Significance Uzbekistan service sector has been rapidly growing, and its performance through household services is a crucial part of theory and practice in especially employment, welfare, and regional development, however, the association of these abstractions with development mechanisms is still not covered sufficiently. In response to this gap, the study employs a combined methodological framework involving systemic, functional, territorial and innovative approaches. Cost analysis is applied by methods of statistical review, comparative economic assessment, observation, generalization and logical analysis. The results illustrate that household services operate as a complex socio-economic system within which providers, consumers, infrastructure, regulatory ways and market institutions interact as interdependent components. Functional analysis certifies its coalescence functionality sector capabilities in upgrading living standards, intensifying employment, diversifying sources of income, and fortifying social infrastructure. At the same time, quantitative territorial analysis shows strong regional differences, including more poor and less diverse service infrastructure in peripheral areas, negatively impacting efficiency and accessibility. This trend reflects the increasing role of digital platforms and new service options in minimizing transaction costs and facilitating faster, easier, and more competitive services. In general, the findings confirm that household services are a strategic driver of sustainable development but call for concerted regional policy, infrastructure enhancement and digital transformation. The study suggests that system and innovative approach together can improve quality of service, reduce territorial disparity, and improve sustainability of the sector in long term.
