Gulzada Akunova, chief specialist at the Ministry of Labor, Social Security and Migration, noted that the ministry is actively working to promote employment. Employment support services are available across the country, where citizens can access free career counseling, professional training, and business consulting services.

The amount of social assistance is 150,000 soms, and in 2025, 13,333 families were able to take part in the program.
Monitoring results showed that five participants have already become millionaires.
«In addition, since 2024, a pilot project «Youth Internship» has been carried out for citizens aged from 16 to 35. Its goal is to provide initial work experience, improve qualifications, and ensure further employment. A total of 3,000 young citizens have taken part, with more than 2,000 of them already employed. By government decision, the pilot project will be extended until 2027. Young people are interning in healthcare, veterinary services, the banking sector, and other areas,» Gulzada Akunova said.
