ABSTRACT
This article analyzes the dynamics of the population of the Navoi region, the population of working age and labour
resources. The location of the population and labour resources of the regions has been studied. Based on
regionalization, this problem was analyzed into regions of irrigated agriculture, mountain and sub-mountain pasture
livestock, and desert pasture livestock.
KEYWORDS
Population dynamics, labour resources, working-age population, population employment, natural geographical
factors, irrigated agriculture, desert-pasture, mountain-pasture, economic geographical factors, demographic factors.
INTRODUCTION
The increase in the number of labour resources in the
world is a difficult task to provide employment to the
population and reduce unemployment. For this reason,
many scientists have conducted scientific research on
the problems of labour resources and population
employment. With this problem abroad, J. Ground, A.
Smith, T. R. Malthus, A. Geyar, A. Marshall, A. Piru, J. M.
Keynes, N. N. Baransky, A. A. Asiyeva, E. L. Vidovina, A.
Mirta, several approaches to labour resources issues
and we can see scientific theories. In Uzbekistan, it was
studied in the scientific works of A.A. Qayumov, A.S.
Soliyev, K.Kh. Abdurakhmanov, O.B. Ota-Mirzayev, L.P.

We can see that the Navoi region occupies a quarter of
the territory of the republic, and the share of the
population is inversely proportional to it. The region
occupies one of the last places in the country in terms
of population. The share of the population in the
republic was 2.9 per cent. This indicates that the
population in the region is extremely sparse. The
natural geographical and hydrographic features of the
region, as we learned above, had a great impact on the
location of the population and labour resources of the
Navoi region.
The difference in rural districts is very large, and
according to the level of influence of labour resources
on employment in agriculture, we can divide them into
districts as follows:
- The population density is relatively high in the districts
of agricultural districts. It is 144.4 people per square
kilometre in the Karmana district, 75.7 people in the
Navbahor district, 72.7 people in the Kyziltepa district
and 147.7 people in the Khatirchi district.
- Mountain and sub-mountain pasture cattle-breeding
region: population density is low, 14.8 people per
square kilometre in Nurota district.
- Desert pastoral livestock region: in this region, the
population is very sparsely populated, with 4.1 people
in the Konimekh district, 0.4 people in the Tomdi
district, 0.8 people in the Uchkuduq district (0.09
people without taking into account the urban
population).

Figure 2. Growth dynamics of the permanent population of working age in the Navoi region
Analyzing the dynamics of the region's population, the
population increased by 272,200 people between 2000
and 2023. During the studied period, the region's
population increased by 134.7%. Growth in population
dynamics was mainly observed in irrigated farming
regions and cities. We can see that the population has
decreased in the desert pasture regions.

Figure 3. Dynamics of labour resources according to administrative units of Navoi region.
In 2010-2023, the number of labour resources of the
Navoi region has been continuously increasing, and
during the studied period, the number of labour
resources of the region has increased by 53.3 thousand
people. The main part of it was contributed by the city
of Navoi. During this period, the number of labor
resources of the city increased by 29.7 thousand
people (Fig. 2).
In addition to the city of Navoi, we can clearly see the
increase and decrease in the number of labour
resources in the administrative units. Khatirchi,
Navbahor, Kyziltepa, Konimekh districts, Zarafshan
and Gozgon cities are among the districts and cities
where the number of labour resources has increased.

among the districts where the number of labor
resources has decreased.
In 2010-2023, the number of labour resources
of the Navoi region was constantly increasing, and
during the studied period, the number of labour
resources of the region increased by 53.3 thousand
people. The main part of it was contributed by the city
of Navoi. During this period, the number of labour
resources in the city increased by 29.7 thousand
people. The analysis of population changes by
economic regions produces the following picture;
- Agricultural district has high population growth rates.
When we analyzed the population dynamics of the
regions, the population increased by 108.3% in Navoi
city, 198.1% in Karmana district, 157.1% in Navbahor
district, 149.6% in Kyziltepa district and 149.8% in
Khatirchi district.

In the city of Navoi, the dynamics of the population,
differing from the characteristics of the region, was an
average indicator. Natural reproduction, migration and
environmental factors had a strong influence on the
growth of the city's population. Natural population
growth is low compared to rural districts. Due to the
ecological conditions, the population mainly lives in the
rural districts around the city and commutes in the
form of pendulum migration. In the years 2000-2005,
there was a decrease in the number of inhabitants in
the city, and in the following years it increased
moderately.
Figure 6. Dynamics of population growth of Karmana district
Figure 7. Dynamics of growth of permanent population of working age of Karmana district
The growth rate of the population of Karmana district
between 2000 and 2023 was the highest. During the
period under study, the population and labour
resources of the district have almost doubled, and
migration and the location in the suburbs are the main
factors responsible for the high growth. In the
dynamics of the population of the district, the highest
growth was observed in 2000-2005. Residents of Navoi

and those who moved to the city for work from other
regions are trying to settle in the Karmana district.
Figure 8. Dynamics of population growth of Kiziltepa district
Figure 9. Dynamics of growth of the permanent population of working age in Kyziltepa district
During the period under study, a continuous increase
was observed in the dynamics of the total population
of Kyziltepa district. During this period, the population
of the district increased by almost 150%, and the
average annual growth corresponded to 2.2%. The main
factor of such growth is natural reproduction. The
highest growth in the district occurred in 2010-2015. In
2000-2005, the population of the district increased
very slowly, the average annual increase was 1.1%.

Figure 10. Growth dynamics of the population of Khatirchi district
Figure 11. Growth dynamics of the permanent population of working age of Khatirchi district
Khatirchi district is considered the leader in terms of
population in the region, and the number of
permanent residents as of January 2023 is 209,800
people. During the studied period, the population of
the district grew the most in the region, and its
permanent population increased by 69,500 people. It
takes second place after Karmana district in terms of
population growth dynamics. The main factor for the
high growth of the population is the fact that the
district is mainly located in the region of irrigated
agriculture, and the majority of the population lives in
rural settlements.

Figure 12. Dynamics of population growth of Navbahor district
Figure 13. Growth dynamics of the permanent population of working age of Navbahor district
Navbahor District is one of the administrative units
with the highest population growth dynamics. During
the studied period, the population of the district was
constantly growing, and in some years it grew faster.
In particular, the highest growth was observed in 2010-
2015. Several factors influenced the rapid growth of
the district's population. The district is mainly located
in the region of irrigated agriculture, the majority of the
population lives in rural settlements. the influence of
factors such as internal and pendulum migration is high
because it is located in the vicinity of a large city.
- The growth of the population in the region of
mountain and sub-mountain pasture cattle breeding
increased very slowly during this period. In the studied
period, the population of Nurota district increased by
16.4 thousand people, and the total growth
corresponds to 122%. During the period under study,
the city of Gozgon was part of the Nurota district. On
May 3, 2019, according to the decision of the Senate of
the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the city of
Ghazgon was established in the Navoi region, and
today 9.1 thousand people live here.

Figure 14. Growth dynamics of the population of Nurota district
Figure 15. Growth dynamics of the permanent population of working age of Nurota district
A very slow change was observed in the dynamics of
the population in the Nurota district during the studied
period. Despite the high natural increase of the
population in the district, internal and external
migration has a great impact on the negative balance.
The main reason for the decrease in the population
from 2020 is that 9.1 thousand people died due to the
establishment of the city of Ghazgon.
Desert pasture livestock region - When we analyzed
the dynamics of the population in this region, a process
of decrease was observed. In Konimekh district, it
decreased by 42.4-37.4 thousand people, in Tomdi
district by 27.7-15.8 thousand people, in Uchkuduq
district by 42.4-39.1 thousand people, in Zarafshan city
from 64.6 thousand people to 86.5 thousand people
increased.

Figure 19. Dynamics of growth of the permanent population of working age of Konimekh district
We can see that the population of the Konimekh
district decreased during the studied period. In
particular, during the periods of 2000-2005, 2005-2010,
and 2010-2015, the number of the population
decreased continuously, and the largest decrease was
observed in the period of 2010-2015. The negative
balance of internal and external migration has a great
influence on the decrease in the population of the
district. There was a relative increase in the population
in the periods of 2015-2020, and 2020-2023. In these
years, the addition of the town of Zafarabad played an
important role in the increase of the population of the
district.

The population dynamics of Zarafshan city are
constantly growing, and the working-age population
has also increased. At the same time, in 2012-2022, the
number of permanent population of working age will
decrease compared to previous years. We can consider
the presence of natural resource extraction and
processing industrial enterprises, the creation of new
jobs and high wages as the main factor in the growth
of the population and the permanent population of
working age in the city of Zarafshon.
CONCLUSION
Analyzing the dynamics of the population and labor
resources of the Navoi Region, and their location
features, we found some regional differences. Based
on our studies, we came to the following conclusions:
- Navoi region The population of Navoi region, the
population of working age and labour resources have
increased.
- the dynamics of population and labour resources are
not the same in all regions.
- the population and labour resources are increasing
rapidly in irrigated farming areas and cities
- a decrease of these indicators was observed in the
regions of mountain and sub-mountain, desert pasture
cattle breeding.
