Ensuring sustainable employment and improving employment management are essential components ofUzbekistan’s socio-economic development strategy. This study examines the current state of employment in the country,
identifes key structural and institutional challenges affecting job stability, and proposes strategic measures to enhance
employment sustainability. Using a qualitative and descriptive research approach, ofcial statistical data, policy documents,
and international reports were analyzed. The fndings reveal that despite positive labor market trends, challenges such
as informal employment, skills mismatch, and regional disparities persist. To address these issues, the study suggests
modernizing labor market institutions, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, developing vocational education,
and integrating digital tools into employment services. The proposed measures aim to strengthen employment stability,
promote inclusive growth, and improve the effectiveness of employment management in Uzbekistan.
