Shavkat Mirziyoyev convened the meeting to discuss the draft bill of the newly elaborated Labor Code.
The working-age population in Uzbekistan, (women aged 16 to 55 years, men up to 60 years) has reached 19 million people, whereas the number of companies in the private sector has soared two-fold in the last three years.
The current Labor Code was adopted in 1995 when the share of the private sector was only 21 percent, now it is more than 83 percent. The new code offers ample opportunities for business, and provides many favourable conditions for bringing more workforce.
It was emphasized that before the head of state accepts this important code, it is important to organize its implementation effectively. It was pointed out that it is necessary to convey and explain the news to the population, all ministers, governors, and about 600,000 heads of enterprises.
