This study investigates the impact of digital literacy on labor productivity in Uzbekistan’s service
sector during 2017–2024. Using balanced panel data from four service industries, a Fixed Effects regression
model was employed. The results reveal a structural wage elasticity of 3.55, indicating that employment
expansion is concentrated in sectors actively utilizing digital technologies. Based on the findings, the study
recommends targeted modernization and improvement of enterprises to transform surplus labor into highly
productive employment opportunities.
