ECONOMIC IMPACT OF DIGITALIZATION ON HOUSEHOLD FINANCES IN UZBEKISTAN

This research explores the relationship between digitalization and its economic impact on household finances in Uzbekistan. The study's objective is to determine how technological advancements, particularly in ICT (Information and Communication Technology), influence financial behavior and market dynamics within Uzbekistan households. The research employs a quantitative approach, using a Tobit regression model to analyze data collected from various national databases, including Uzstat and the Global Innovation Index. The study focuses on variables such as the ICT index, government readiness for ICT integration, and the rate of automation, represented by the number of robots per 10,000 workers. Data was collected over a span of ten years, from 2011 to 2021, and analyzed to identify significant correlations between these variables and household savings rates. The findings suggest a positive correlation between the ICT index and labor market indices, indicating that as digitalization advances, the labor market and household incomes experience growth.
