This article analyzes the economic activity of women in Uzbekistan with an emphasis on gender discrimination in the economic sphere. The main trends in women's participation in the labor force and key barriers to equal access to employment, including structural and institutional factors, discrimination in hiring and remuneration, as well as legal and cultural restrictions, are outlined. Based on international and national sources, it has been shown that with officially declared equality, women still face a lower rate of participation in the economy, a significant wage gap and limited access to leadership positions, which requires improved government policies and protection mechanisms.References
