Approximately 765,000 new jobs added to reports in Uzbekistan were identified

A recent study has revealed that 764,723 new jobs were added to official reports in Uzbekistan, as part of programs aimed at increasing employment. This information was shared by Hayot Shamsuddinov, head of the information service of the General Prosecutor's Office, during a briefing held at the Agency for Information and Mass Communications on September 11.

Shamsuddinov provided updates on the implementation of initiatives mentioned in the Prosecutor General’s address to the people of Uzbekistan. Among these initiatives, more than 5,000 families listed in the "Iron Book" (a register of vulnerable families) received assistance from the prosecutor's sectors. Specifically, the homes of 181 individuals were repaired, and new homes were constructed for 57 others. Efforts to protect the rights of 246,673 women and 36,687 young people included in the "Women's Register" and "Youth Register" are ongoing, with support provided for their various initiatives.

"In the past period, 3,158 young people were employed, 6,277 individuals were allocated land for rent, 1,526 were engaged in entrepreneurship, 5,036 were self-employed, 4,062 were trained in vocational and foreign language courses, and 9,988 people received assistance in paying tuition fees," Shamsuddinov reported.

It was noted that 764,723 new jobs were included in official reports during the studies conducted on employment programs, and those responsible for any discrepancies were held accountable.

Additionally, 2.3 billion sums in overdue wages were recovered for 327 employees. The investigation also uncovered the theft of 4.2 billion sums in wages and allowances, leading to the initiation of 52 criminal cases. Practical assistance was provided to 15,650 entrepreneurs and foreign investors under the "quick help" principle, addressing issues related to land, licenses, and other challenges. This intervention helped prevent the loss of over 7,000 jobs by restoring 5,755 inactive business entities.

"During control measures, 347 individuals who violated the law were subject to disciplinary action, 1,520 were held administratively accountable, and 1,909 officials received formal warnings. The rights of 196 individuals and legal entities were restored, and 215 criminal cases were initiated in response to serious legal violations, resulting in the recovery of 35 billion sums for the state," according to the General Prosecutor's Office.
