Providing Labor Opportunities in Uzbekistan's ICT Sector for the Digital Economy

This study examines job growth trends in the Republic of Uzbekistan's ICT sector, as well as geographical disparities and sector-related factors. The study used statistical data to examine the change in the number of employees working in the ICT sector between 2020 and 2023, as well as identify regional disparities. The findings indicate that, despite the sector's overall positive expansion, employment in the ICT sector has decreased in several regions. The study also looked at the impact of ICT infrastructure, school quality, and state policy on the labor market. International experience was also reviewed, and viable measures for developing the ICT sector in Uzbekistan were proposed.
