This analysis is used to understand the drivers of income distribution and to identify and
         design appropriate interventions.
              The results show that the poverty level in most regions of Uzbekistan is $3.2 per day.
         This is a slightly lower figure than in other Central Asian countries (Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan).
         Income is distributed unevenly in some regions of Uzbekistan. High levels of poverty are
         observed in Tashkent, Samarkand, Surkhandarya, Andijan regions and some regions of the
         Republic of Karakalpakstan. The lowest level of the share of the middle class in the total
         population occurs in  Samarkand,  Surkhandarya, Andijan,  Syrdarya,  Tashkent,  Khorezm
         regions and some regions of the Republic of Karakalpakstan.
              Of course, as the President noted, reducing poverty does not mean increasing the size
         of monthly benefits or allowances or massive provision of loans. To do this, first of all, it is
         necessary to train the population in a profession, increase their financial literacy, instill in
         people a sense of entrepreneurship, improve infrastructure, educate their children, provide
         quality treatment, and introduce a system of targeted benefits. payments.
              At this stage, I would like to express some thoughts, ideas and proposals on the draft
         poverty reduction program in Uzbekistan.
              Poverty harms the nation's health, productivity and scientific competence. Also, as a
         result of its consequences, the state budget will  be reduced and political processes will
         intensify.
              It is important to remember here that the scientists who received the Nobel Prize in
         Economics in 2019 were also awarded for their research into reducing global poverty. They
         are American Michael Kremer and Indian-origin Abhijit Banerjee and his wife Esther Duflo,
         who have introduced social innovations in identifying and fighting poverty.
              Based on the results of their scientific research, it was found that poverty can be
         eliminated in every country, region and family segment along with diagnosing the factors and
         conditions that cause poverty. Using  experimental methods (experiment) from the natural
         sciences and  medicine,  these  scientists conducted research on  identifying  and  reducing
         poverty based on the practical experience of Kenyan and Indian families and individuals
         and posed the following main question: free education for students in Lunch  for poor
         countries is beneficial or useful?
              Many experiments they conducted (this experiment was  carried out over a  20-year
         period) confirmed that free lunches and additional study aids did not have a significant impact
         on student achievement. Therefore , measures such as providing schools with various modern
         educational means, making financial expenditures aimed at improving  the material  and
         technical base, and providing students with free lunches and clothing are absorbed like water
         scattered into sand.
              The  main  factors that  increase the rate of  learning and the level of  knowledge of
         students are: improving the  form of  education and the  quality of teaching by  teachers,
         strengthening the methods of individual approach to students (increasing the content of the
         lesson), as well as ensuring that children are free from helminthic diseases. The World Health
         Organization has also confirmed that no matter how much education you give to children,
         their minds and thinking will not expand until they get rid of parasites in their body.
