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.
