INTRODUCTION Structural changes in the economy of the Republic of Uzbekistan require further attention to the issue of employment.
The role of employment is extremely important in creating the economic basis for human development. For many people around the world, working is the main source of livelihood for themselves and their family members. For them, losing their job is tantamount to risking their own development. Employment status also affects people’s subjective feelings.
From the point of view of society, effective employment provides the able-bodied population with the necessary income, creates an economic basis for human development. At the same time, the state creates conditions for the creation of equal opportunities for all members of society by supporting and protecting the socially vulnerable and the disabled.
In economic theory, employment is interpreted as "the degree to which the economically active population is involved in the economy."
The Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Employment” states that “Employment is an activity of people that does not contradict the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Uzbekistan, is related to meeting their personal and social needs, and provides them with wages (income)” [1].
Employment is one of the most important aspects of human social development, which reveals the problems associated with labor issues and ways to meet the demand and supply of labor. The employment relationship is a socio-economic indicator that shows how many able-bodied people are involved in socially useful work.
