Abstract.
Economic growth and human capital are highly correlated. The expansion of an
economy's knowledge base, health, and welfare can be facilitated by human capital, which also has
an impact on economic growth. The ability to alter a life is known as human capital. Ensuring socio-
economic advancement is a global problem for human capital development, particularly in the
areas of health, education, and living standards. This essay examines the connection between
Uzbekistan's economic expansion and the development of its human capital. In the dynamic
landscape of Uzbekistan's economic transformation, human capital development emerges as a
pivotal determinant of sustained economic growth.

Introduction.
It is well known that in the conditions of the market economy, the income of economic
entities is not guaranteed and is not distributed among different layers of the population.
Because one of the positive aspects of the market economy is the growth of property income and
business income (even if they correspond to a small part of the population). Differences in per
capita incomes are income inequality.

The last few decades have seen a tremendous
transformation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, which is located in the center of Central Asia.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's innovative leadership is guiding the country as it emerges from
a past steeped in antiquated customs and forges ahead towards modernity and international
significance. It's becoming more and more clear that Uzbekistan's most important asset
—
its
human capital
—
needs to be developed if it is to realize its potential as a regional economic
powerhouse. Any society's greatest asset and most precious resource is its human capital, which
also serves as the primary criterion for socioeconomic advancement. One of the major issues
facing global science is the study of humanity, the development of human capital, the
combination of creative traits and skills, and the investment in human capital. Thus, the 21st
century continues to be pertinent for studying human capital and its advancement. For the past
fifty years, human capital has been crucial to socioeconomic progress. Its rapid expansion is
actually outpacing it and gradually pushing it out of the GNP structure. As a result, it currently
makes up around 80% of the national wealth of developed nations. That made up 48% in 2020,
followed by natural resources at 20% and fixed capital at 32%. The World Bank estimates that
the worth of all human capital on the planet at the end of the 20th century was 550 trillion USD,
more than eight times the global GDP
41
.
In 1978, the analysis of the UN in the field of international statistics was developed, in
which 12 main indicators for assessing the standard of living of the population are presented.
One of them is the income of the population. At the same time, indicators such as per capita gross

domestic product, gross national product, human development index, as well as coefficients of
stratification by specific population groups (quintile, decile groups) are also used in practice.
For instance, in 2020-2021, the following main strategic directions of poverty reduction
tools were put into practice in the republic of Uzbekistan:
First of all, the institutional foundations of poverty reduction were created in Uzbekistan,
a ministry coordinating issues of poverty reduction and a scientific center conducting scientific
research in this direction were established.
Secondly, in order to provide material and non-material support to the needy population
during the pandemic, the "Iron Book" system was established.
Thirdly, together with experts from the World Bank and the United Nations Development
Program, the project "Strategy to reduce poverty in the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2021-2030"
was developed.
Human Capital Indexs as a child born in Uzbekistan will be 62% as productive when she
growth up as she could be if she enjoyed complete education and full health. This is lower then
the average for the Europe & Central Asia (69%) but the higher than for Lower Middle Income
countries (48%).
The future socio-economic development perspective of Uzbekistan is related to the
qualitative development of human creative abilities, which becomes the main factor of economic
development. The human capital of a nation is one of the main components of the national wealth
of society. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study the problems of human capital
development, to expand the possibilities of its further development, and to develop scientifically
based recommendations for the formation and fuller implementation of human capital, which
determined the importance of this study.
Literature review.
The term was coined in 1961 by Theodore Schultz, and Garry Becker developed the idea
from 1965, justifying the effectiveness of human capital investment and formulating an economic
approach to human behavior. Schulz made a huge contribution to the formation of the theory of
human capital in the early stages of its development, its recognition in the scientific community
and its popularization. He was one of the first to introduce the concept of human capital as a
production factor. Furthermore, he made significant contributions to the understanding of
human capital's function as the primary generator and cornerstone of industrial and post-
industrial economies. According to Schultz, the maintenance of one's health, one's capacity for
productive work, and one's ability to effectively contribute to society as a creative force are the
primary outcomes of investing in an individual. He thought that human capital possesses the
qualities that make it productive. Human capital has the capacity to grow and procreate. The
contributions of institutional theory, neoclassical theory, Neo-Keynesianism, and other private
economic theories form the foundation of the theory of human capital. It emerged as the
economic and associated sciences' answer to the need for the real economy and real life. A
challenge existed in having a comprehensive grasp of an individual's function and the cumulative
effects of his or her intellectual pursuits on the rate and calibre of social and economic progress.
Firstly, Аdаm Smith in “TheWeаlth of Nаtions” (А.Smith, 1776) set the stаge for the study
of humаn cаpitаl. Аlthough
he does not us
e the phrаse humаn cаpitаl, he identifies the аcquired
аnd useful аbilities of individuаls аs а fundаmentаl source of weаlth аnd economic progress of а
country. Writing more thаn а century lаter, Аlfred Mаrshаll notes in his “Principles of Economics”
(Mаrshаll, 1920) the long
-
term nаture of investments in humаn cаpitаl аnd the fаmily’s role in
undertаking them. However, Mаrshаll
is аlso credited with delаying the study of humаn cаpitаl
due to his reluctаnce to put it on the sаme footing аs physicаl cаpitаl.
The modern study of humаn cаpitаl coincides with two developments in economics. The
first wаs а resurgent interest in understаnding why economies grow. It wаs аppаrent to

The main objectives are to influence the economic growth and raise the living standard of
the people of Central Asia through Human Capital and improve the Human Capital to achieve
high level and maintain the regional economic development in Central Asia. Dervis Boztosum et
al. describe that investment in human capital is more important than physical capital to achieve
the desirable level of economic development
43
(D
erviş Boztosun, Semra Aksoylu, and Zübeyde
Şentürk Ulucak, "The Role of Human Capital in Economic Growth," Economics 4,
no. 3 (2016)).
Muhammad Azam et al. also highlight that the human capital play vital role in the process of
economic development.
44
(Muhammad Azam and Ather Maqsood Ahmed, "Role of human capital
and foreign direct investment in promoting economic growth: evidence from Commonwealth of
Independent States," International Journal of Social Economics 42, no. 2 (2015)). Emilio
Sacerdoti et al. conducted a study in Western Africa to investigate the impact of human capital
on economic growth and depicted that the human capital was not more effective like physical
capital on economic growth. The study depicted that the reason behind the less effective of
human capital was that the individuals was not qualified and trained and they are unable to use
innovative technology in human capital.
45
(Emilio. Sacerdoti, Sonia. Brunschwig, and Jon. Tang,
"The impact of human capital on growth: Evidence from West Africa.," International Monetary
Found, African Deparment (IMF Working Paper) 98, no. 162 (1998)).
Additionally, the study discovered an inverse relationship between initial human capital
and economic growth and a positive relationship between economic expansion and imbalances
in the market. According to the study, if a poor country has a high level of human capital per
person relative to its per capita GDP, it can converge towards a richer country. Gemmell (1996)
evaluated the role of human capital on the economic growth in a cross-country sample of
developed and underdeveloped countries. The study adopted the Mankiw et al. (1992)
framework by using the same Summers and Heston (1991) data set and OLS technique as used
in Mankiw et al. (1992). However, the study adopted a different measure of human capital. In the
study, the human capital was divided into primary, secondary and tertiary human capital proxied
through the enrolment rates at these levels. The study found a positive and significant role of
human capital on economic growth.

The statistical data on the developed countries' economies growing faster than calculations
made with the classical growth factors in mind provided the impetus for the development of the
theory of human capital. Human capital has been identified as the primary productive and social
factor in the development of a modern economy and society through an analysis of the actual
processes of development and growth under current conditions. The ideas of the human factor
and human resource are naturally expanded upon to form the concept of human capital, which
is a more comprehensive economic category.
The knowledge and work capacity of an individual
constituted the initial boundaries of the economic category known as "human capital," which
developed gradually. Furthermore, from the perspective of economic theory, human capital was
long viewed as merely a social factor of development, that is, a cost factor. It was once thought
that spending money on education and upbringing was wasteful and expensive. Over the course
of the second half of the 20th century, attitudes toward education and human capital steadily
shifted. The ability to earn money is measured by a person's human capital. Inherent skills and
aptitude are included in human capital, along with education and obtained credentials.
The level of human capital development is becoming increasingly important for
determining the level and rate of economic development in every country in the world. As a
result, many nations now prioritize enhancing the quantity and caliber of human capital in their
economic policies. The contemporary notion of human capital is based on unique historical
preconditions as well as unique, unique, and universal patterns of occurrence. Considering the
aforementioned, we believe that work, education, health, and overall quality of life comprise
human capital.
Analysis
а
nd results.
Uzbekistan's primary strategic objective is to join the world's developed nations and
provide a good standard of living for its people. The nation is implementing a well-defined, well-
thought-out plan of action, and the institutional, legal, practical, consistent, and systemic
measures adopted fully support the implementation of democratic, political, and economic
reforms, as well as social transformations meant to provide ample opportunity for the full
realization of each citizen's and society's collective potential on the professional, intellectual, and
spiritual levels.
The Humаn Cаpitаl Index (HCI) is а composite index describing the level of humаn cаpitаl
development in countries аnd regions of the world, issued by the World Bаnk Group аnd used аs
pаrt of the Humаn Cаpitаl Project. The project wаs originаlly led by economists Noаm Аngrist,
Simon Jаnkov, Pinelopi Koujiаnou Goldberg аnd Hаrry Pаtrinos. Proposed humаn cаpitаl
meаsurement using Globаl Leаrning Dаtа survey. The index sho
uld be used by countries to
аnаlyze problemаtic issues in their socio
-
economic policies аnd to аssess their reаdiness to move
to а sustаinаble development model. The index meаsures
the level of humаn cаpitаl development
of the next generаtion, thаt is, the
cаlculаtion of the humаn cаpitаl index includes the following
three components (Figure1):
1.Survivаl. This indicаtor is meаsured by the mortаlity rаte of children under 5 yeаrs of аge.
This will help determine the quаlity of the country's heаlth cаre system, mаternаl аnd child
heаlth cаre.
2.School. It is used in conjunction with informаtion аbout the аmount of educаtion а child
cаn receive before turning 18 аnd whаt they cаn leаrn аt school. This is determined by the
successful pаssing of tests bаsed on internаtionаl stаndаrds of schoolchildren in the country.
Аggregаtion of this informаtion аllows us to cаlculаte expected yeаrs of educаtion аdjusted for
quаlity. By аdjusting for the quаlity of educаtion, it cаn be seen thаt children in some countries
rece
ive less educаtion thаn children in other countries, even with the sаme number of yeаrs of
educаtion.

According to the 2020 report produced by the United Nations Development Program
(UNDP), the Human Development Index has a category called "High level of human
development", in which the countries at the top can be considered developed countries and the
population has a high standard of living. According to it, the countries with the highest human
development index are Norway (0.957), Ireland (0.955) and Switzerland (0.955). Uzbekistan
took the 101st place in this list with an index of 0.727.
In today’s world, the
Human Development Index looks at three key areas to measure a
country's human development achievements and results. The first is life expectancy, which
refers to whether a country has adequate health services to ensure a long and healthy life, or vice
versa.
The second dimension measured in the Human Development Index is the level of literacy
of people. This is measured by indicators of adult literacy (primary, secondary, tertiary, etc.) and
duration of compulsory education.
The third dimension is the standard of living, that is, the income of the country's population.
This measure is measured by GDP per capita at purchasing power parity in US dollars.
Human development index (HDI) and GNI per capita
. Uzbekistan‘s HDI value for 2019
is 0.720
—
which put the country in the high human development category

positioning it at 106
out of 189 countries and territo

However, receiving foreign capital has a number of benefits for Uzbekistan's economy.
According to Yasar and Morrison Paul (2007), Uzbekistan's economy has greatly improved over
the last ten years. The primary goals of the nation's development strategy were the import of
equipment and the export of natural resources like minerals and natural gas. However, because
the nation's economy is not yet directly linked to the global market, it has not been significantly
impacted by the recent financial crisis.
Figure 2. HDI and GNI per capita
In this sense, the primary national goal of Uzbekistan today is the modernization of the
educational system. The nation cannot achieve renewal in all areas of public life and break free
from "raw material dependence" without finding a solution that will lead it towards post-
industrial growth. Significant adjustments must be made to the way education is organised and
delivered, along with more financing and better university administration.

Health capital and Demographic policy.
A vital component of human capital, health
capital is invested in to maintain efficiency through lowering morbidity and lengthening the
productive life span. The quality of health services received by an individual from birth until old
age has a significant impact on their level of health. Disability is an expression of declining health,
morbidity, and disabilities. Naturally, a lower disease rate corresponds to a healthier population
and a higher return on investment in health care. However, there are issues facing society today
that have an impact on the development of health capital.
Chronic respiratory disorders, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease are examples
of non-communicable diseases. The leading causes of disability and mortality in Uzbekistan are
diseases like diabetes mellitus, malignant neoplasms, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and chronic
respiratory disorders. They are primarily linked to risk factors for high blood pressure, high
blood cholesterol, tobacco and alcohol use, being overweight, consuming insufficient amounts of
fruits and vegetables, and engaging in little physical activity.
In 2016 alone, non-communicable diseases claimed the lives of 40 million people,
accounting for 70 percent of all deaths worldwide. It is known that in our country, non-
communicable diseases cause 78 percent of all deaths every year. In 2017, diseases of the
circulatory system (69 percent), including ischemic heart disease, arterial hypertension and
their complications (myocardial infarction, cerebral stroke), occupied the first place in the
overall structure of sex- and age-standardized indicators of causes of death (69 percent). They
are followed by malignant neoplasms (8 percent), diabetes mellitus (3 percent) and chronic
respiratory diseases (3 percent). Experts note that 31 percent of premature deaths from non-
communicable diseases can be prevented or delayed by preventing risk factors and improving
the organization and provision of medical care for patients with non-communicable diseases. As
of October 31, 2020, the number of people infected with coronavirus is 66,628, deaths - 563
(0.8%), recovered - 63,864 (95.9%), now 2201 (3.3%) people are sick. In Uzbekistan, measures
are being consistently taken to prevent, treat and control this type of disease, their risk factors,
and to reduce premature mortality and morbidity.

power, the effectiveness of state control over the education system is low. The unresolved issue
of education quality remains. This necessitates a systemic reform and a radical improvement in
the education system of the country, taking the process of training of highly qualified personnel
with contemporary knowledge and high spiritual & moral qualities to a new level. Investing in
education is directly related to education capital. Investing 1 percent in education will result in
1.2 percent increase in education capital. Raising the education index by 1 percent would result
in 1.6 percent increase in GDP.
