Empowering Women: The Importance of Social Support and Labor Protection

Аннотация

How important is women's empowerment in effective use of labor resources? In the course of our research, we have analyzed the participation of women in various fields and the factors that increase their activity. At present, it is necessary to reach new levels of development and make effective use of human capital. Not effectively using the opportunities of women, who make up half of the world's population, is equivalent to denying half of the world's labor resources. But due to negative reasons such as underestimating women's work and potential, women are not able to reveal their full potential. Many women face mental or physical shock in the work process and in the family. The system of strengthening their social and labor protection, clarifying it with laws, and introducing additional benefits is analyzed on the example of Uzbekistan. Some differences and similarities of approaches to women's issues in Uzbekistan from other countries of Central Asia are shown. Measures to protect women's rights and legal guarantees, and to increase legal literacy were also discussed. In order to expand the opportunities of women and increase their activity in society, it is necessary to clearly define their social and labor protection. Keywords: Empowerment, women's rights, legal guarantees, retirement, maternity, violence, national program.
