No RPT146431-3, ADB Reports from Asian Development Bank (ADB)

Abstract: In 2011, Uzbekistan celebrated 20 years of independence. The transition has not been smooth for any country in the Commonwealth of Independent States, and Uzbekistan, too, has experienced both positive and negative developments in gender equality. The status of women and men in Uzbekistan is very much shaped by the fact that the country has undergone significant and rapid change in recent years. Uzbekistan is still being transformed from a state-controlled, largely agricultural economy to a market-based system. Several characteristics of the transformation have direct bearing on gender equality and are illuminated in greater detail throughout this assessment.
