Discrimination

[mustafa]

Hi guys!

Do you think there is a discrimination in the labour market, against women or any other race, in Uzbekistan?

I'm now looking at the article by Professor Galina Saidova,
A. Agafonoff, O Ergashev, Z. Nasritdinkhodjaev etc..and actually havent gone through yet.(its not about discrimination)

Please give some explanation for your answers.

One more point again:

"According to the Code on Labor of the Republic of Uzbekistan, an unemployed person is considered to be “an individual at the able working age of from 16 up to the age of retirement, who does not have a job and wage (‘labor income’), is registered at the local labor bureau as a person looking for a job, and is ready to work or to be trained”. The essential difference between the two definitions is that, under the methodology adopted in Uzbekistan, to be considered “unemployed”, a person must be registered at a labor bureau as an individual looking for a job. Thus, the level of official unemployment in Uzbekistan is equal to the number of people looking for work and registered at labor bureaus. On this basis, the rate of unemployment in Uzbekistan over 1992-1995 did not exceed 0.3-0.4 per cent of the labor force."
What do you think?

there is a discrimination against woman and may be people from not favored provinces especially from Fergana valley and Muslim people in general :( have seen it have experinced some of it

I must say that there is of course discrimination against women and other minority groups in uzbekistan. The answer is very obvious. In any open market economy registered or not registered unemployed has egual effect to the economy as a whole. So no matter they are registered or not the current influence is as higher as if it were under crisis situation in any developed countries.

Dear Lulu,

You said:

"...there is a discrimination against... people from not favored provinces especially from Fergana valley...

Can you clarify your statement (if possible give examples) please.

Thank you.

Mustafa,

You have asked about the level of unemployment in Uzbekistan. Based on the approach those guyz are using, we can say that the unemployment is low in Uzbekistan. However, if those guyz who are sitting in the statistics bureau will change their approach in measuring umployment level, I think, the umemployment level should be much higher then its current level. I think, it is mainly correlated to the biases on non collecting data based on the randomly distributed samples. Besides, make sure that the government didn't take assurance in supplying jobs to the population. Or, in other words, I think none of the government institutions clarified their stance in lowering umemployment rate. Also, I think, you should take into considerations the level of underemployment in Uzbekistan.

Lately I have been just pasting messages from other sites, hope useful for everyone, but embarassing,

"During the Inter-Government Review Meeting Yesterday in Tashkent, Uzbek President Islam Karimov threatened senior officials with job losses late Thursday.

"If you don't want to work, you will vacate your posts," Karimov told officials and heads of finance, macroeconomic development, statistics and labor ministries at a reform and investment council in Tashkent.

"I know that it is difficult for our people to live," he said, blaming the transitional state of the economy following the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 and a lack of a far-sighted economic strategy among heads of departments, commissions and ministries.


Karimov also claimed he was kept in the dark about the real unemployment rate in the country of 24 million people.

He said he had been told the jobless total in Sukhandarinsk region was 8,000 people but it had turned out "that is not for the region but for every district in the region."

According to official statistics 2.5 percent of Uzbekistan 12 million citizens of working age are without jobs."

Sorry for confusion,

I wanted to draw your attention to the last few sentences regarding statistical figures presented to the president of Uzbekistan, hence we see how poor our statistical ministry works,

Oh problems-my targets?

Seems not so prospering future for our people.
The problem indeed arises with hidden unemployment and underemployment(mentioned by Sanatullo). The research found that there is a discrimination against women, especially in rural areas; with pays 3-4 times lower than that of men. However they dont disclose the data and comparisions they make.

I would like to turn your attention on whether the discrimination is a result of cultural and social factors or stems from economic factors?

Glad to hear from you
