This article analyzes the relationship between youth employment and crimes committed
by young people in Uzbekistan. During the study, youth employment and crime indicators were examined
based on statistical data from recent years. The results of the analysis show that despite the increase in
youth employment, the level of crime has not decreased. This indicates that youth crime is not only related to
employment but also to other social and economic factors.
