MANAGING CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE OF EMPLOYMENT IN THE REGIONS OF UZBEKISTAN

The article highlights the importance of structural transformation in increasing the employment rate in the regions of Uzbekistan, analyzes the trends and features of this process.The rate of transformation in the regional labor market was determined using transformation indices. Calculations of the transformation indices were carried out for the republic and 14 territorial units for 2010-2018. The fact that indices are small in all regions indicates that the process of structural transformation is slow in Uzbekistan. Analysis of the relationship between transformation and unemployment rate shows that the inverse proportionality is fully expressed in some regions and partially in others. The positive and negative aspects of transformation in the long-term perspective have been studied and relevant proposals have been developed for the regions. According to the analysis of the regional labor markets, it can be seen that regions where non-traditional and innovative methods are widely introduced in the agricultural sector, and regions with deep specialization and a developed processing industry have an advantage over others.
