Empowering Women: The Importanceof Social Support and Labor Protection

How important is women's empowerment in effective use of labor resources? In the course of our research, we have analyzed theparticipation of women in various fields and the factors that increase their activity. At present, it is necessary to reach new levels of development and make effective use of human capital. Not effectively using the opportunities of women, who make up half ofthe world's population, is equivalent to denying half of the world's labor resources. But due to negative reasons such as underestimating women's work and potential, women are not able to reveal their full potential. Many women face mental or physical shock in the work process and in the family. The system of strengthening their social and labor protection, clarifying it with laws, and introducing additional benefits is analyzed on the example of Uzbekistan. Some differences and similarities ofapproaches to women's issues in Uzbekistan from other countries of Central Asia are shown. Measures to protect women's rights and legal guarantees, and to increase legal literacy were also discussed. In order to expand the opportunities of women and increase their activity in society, it is necessaryto clearly define their social and labor protection.
