OVER 65 THOUSAND NEW JOBS CREATED IN FARGHONA REGION SO FAR THIS YEAR

Thanks to consistent work being carried out in the country for the steady and balanced development of entrepreneurship, the production sector and the job market, the population employment rate is rising.

Special attention is being paid in Farghona Region, too, to providing jobs for the population and creating new workplaces. According to information from the region’s main directorate for labour, more than 65 thousand new jobs have been created there so far this year.

“To ensure people’s employment and to put the human factor first is one of the highest priority tasks. In line with a programme for creating jobs and ensuring people’s employment, it is envisaged that more than 93 thousand new jobs will be created in the year 2016. The active attraction of people, especially young people, to work and the achievement of high productivity in the production sector are of important significance to accelerating economic development and resolving social issues. In drawing up an employment programme, special attention is paid to identifying precise areas of job creation and to ensuring its implementation,” says Mirzohid Dehqonov, deputy head of the region’s main directorate for labour.

Job creation in accordance with purposeful programmes is one of these areas. Fruitful work is being carried out in this area in the towns of Farghona, Qoqon and Quvasoy and a number of districts. In the past period of this year, 7 thousand 597 new jobs were created under an industrial potential enhancement programme alone.

The creation of new jobs and new enterprises and the expansion of existing enterprises in the region are being achieved through developing entrepreneurship, home-based work and further developing livestock raising, poultry, fish farming and beekeeping at farms and peasants’ holdings.

In further developing forms of home-based work and in ensuring people’s employment and good living standards, a decree dated 5 January 2006 of the First President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, “On measures to promote the enhancement of cooperation between large industrial enterprises and home-based services” is an important programme document.

As part of the implementation of this document, 744 jobs were created at 92 enterprises through developing home-based work. Various goods are being produced at the Asil Ipak Gilamlari private enterprise and the Yodgorlik LLC in the town of Marghilon, at Kvarts in the town of Quvasoy and at the Qoqondon joint-stock company in the town of Qoqon through home-based work.

The development of home-based services is an important factor in ensuring people’s employment and in raising their living standards in remote villages as well. Many new jobs are being created also through developing national craftsmanship and initiating family entrepreneurship.

The conducting of job fairs turned into a good tradition in the country. In the past 8 months, 90 such fairs were held in the region, and more than 27 thousand jobs were offered. 1 thousand 978 citizens were given referrals for job placement.

“I graduated from the Quvasoy industry vocational college. At a job fair held recently, I was given a referral for job placement at the Quvasoy Konsalting family enterprise. And now I work there,” says Diyora Zokirova.

Thanks to such events, a graduate of the Uchkoprik agro-industry and service vocational college, Muhtasir Sobirova, got a job at pre-school day care establishment No 24, a graduate of the Ushkoprik industry vocational college, Umid Usmonov, got a job at general education school No 31 and a graduate of the Quvasoy teaching and economics college, Farhod Uzoqov, got a job according to his profession at the Valik Sarchashmasi enterprise.

Briefly speaking, measures being taken in the region to ensure employment and thus raise people’s wellbeing are giving great results.
