Uzbekistan Country Gender Assessment
A Case Study 
This publication prepared by the Asian Development Bank in close cooperation with the Women’s 
Committee of Uzbekistan contains a comprehensive analysis of the socioeconomic aspects of gender 
equality in Uzbekistan. It covers a wide range of issues related to empowering women by increasing their 
economic activity in various sectors. The recommendations of the assessment can be used to develop a 
long-term strategy for the Asian Development Bank and the Women’s Committee of Uzbekistan, including 
programs aiming to increase women’s employment and income generation and combat traditional gender 
stereotypes to further enhance their role and status.
