This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of poverty in Uzbekistan, examining its
key determinants and identifying effective pathways for sustainable reduction. Despite the country’s notable economic
progress over the past decade, poverty remains a relevant socio-economic challenge affecting certain segments of the
population. Through a systematic assessment of economic, social, and institutional factors, the study highlights the
multifaceted nature of poverty in Uzbekistan and proposes evidence-based strategies aimed at its long-term and inclusive
alleviation.
