LEGAL MECHANISMS FOR ENSURING GENDER EQUALITY PRINCIPLES IN MODERN LABOR RELATIONS

Аннотация

Gender equality in modern labor relations is one of the key factors for social justice and sustainable economic development both globally and for Uzbekistan. The Republic of Uzbekistan, recognizing human dignity as a fundamental value in its development strategy, is implementing wide-ranging reforms aimed at ensuring gender equality in the labor sphere. This urgency stems not only from the principles of social justice but also from the goals of increasing economic efficiency and enhancing the country's international image. Reforms in labor legislation contribute to strengthening economic stability and improving international reputation, as gender equality ensures an inclusive workforce, higher productivity, and better international trade relations. This thesis provides an in-depth analysis of the legal mechanisms aimed at ensuring gender equality as reflected in the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan—particularly in the new Labor Code—and in international legal instruments. It also examines their implementation and the existing challenges.
