EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE "HUNARMAND" ASSOCIATION'S ACTIVITIES IN DEVELOPING SELF-EMPLOYMENT
Abstract
The article analyzes the institutional role of the "Hunarmand" Association in stimulating self-employment in Uzbekistan. Based on statistical data for the 2017–2025 period and an analysis of the traditional "Usta-Shogird" (Master-Apprentice) system, the study assesses the contribution of craftsmanship to the legalization of informal employment and household income growth. Applied recommendations for developing digital export supply chains through a system of customs bonded warehouses are formulated.
