Accelerating decent jobs and social protection for a just transition to formality in Uzbekistan - 01003802

About this project

The project aims to reduce informal employment, by formalising enterprises and jobs, expanding social insurance to informal and migrant workers, and piloting integrated approaches between employment and social protection. Expected results include increased income security, decreased decent work deficit, and increased government revenues, thereby improving the quality and sustainability of essential public services in particular social protection for the most vulnerable and employment promotion. the JP intends in particular to contribute the following two results: (1) access for workers to decent and productive formal employment opportunities and the acceleration of transition of previously informal enterprises and jobs (in particular in the care and construction sectors) to formality, and (2) the extension of inclusive social protection coverage to workers in the informal economy, and those currently outside of the labour force with a particular focus on vulnerable groups, including women, youth, PWDs and migrant works.
