At this point we will look at the category that creates socio-economic potential content;
the regional socio-economic potential serves only its own interest, that is, related to the
population.
Territorial population statistics - an area that studies the socio-economic statistics of a
region, which is understood as a set of statistical data on the population and demographic
processes living in a particular region. Population statistics or demographic statistics are the
theoretical basis of territorial population statistics. The availability of accurate statistical data
on the population of the region allows for a socio-economic analysis of the population and
demographic situation of Uzbekistan. That is why statistical data on the constant population
size, age and demographic processes are announced on the territory and throughout the
republic. And most importantly, population is considered as the main indicator when
assessing the comparative level of macroeconomic indicators or conducting comparative
analysis.
Based on general demographic statistics, regional population statistics develops
methods for statistical observation of the region’s population and demographic events (births,
deaths, marriages, etc.), conducts, calculates migration and develops methods of
generalization, grouping and other collected statistical data.
When assessing the characteristics of regional demographic processes over a certain
time (usually one year) in the republic, indicators such as birth rate, mortality, natural
population growth, number of marriages and divorces are studied. Also, in the analysis of
territorial demographic processes, comparative indicators of natural and mechanical
movement of the population, including birth, death, natural increase of the population,
marriages and divorces, general, private and age-related special coefficients are considered.
The study of the nature and definition of demographic processes in terms of territory
is carried out like the statistical numbers shown in the national indicator. Republic -wide
indicators are created by summarizing the statistical data collected from the regions. That is
why it is one of the main tasks to collect reliable and accurate data on demographic processes
in the territory, analyze them and, on this basis, develop a program of measures to improve
the demographic situation and submit proposals and recommendations to territorial-
administrative management bodies for its implementation.
As we mentioned above, when assessing the potential of a region, the most basic
categories are studied: population size, age level, gender, as well as a number of indicators,
such as the number of able-bodied, disabled, unemployed, and employed population. Among
them, the main indicator in determining the potential of a region is labor resources or able-
bodied people. Of course, although residents of the region play a key role in determining the
socio-economic potential of the region, it is permissible to quantitatively and qualitatively
assess the overall potential of the region through information about its performance (labor
potential) and their qualifications.
Labor capacity (LC) is one of the most basic and constantly active indicators of
socio-economic development. When studying and assessing the labor potential of any
country and region, the number and capabilities of the total labor resources involved in the
production and services sector, capable of ensuring the stable development of the country’s
