In this study, a methodology for using geographic information systems (GIS) technologies in forecasting the demographic development of the population of Uzbekistan until 2050 will be developed. The main goal of the research is to improve the mechanism for comprehensive analysis and forecasting of population size, age-sex composition, territorial distribution, urbanization processes, as well as internal and external migration flows by region. The research results are important for optimizing state planning, regional development strategies, labor market forecasts, and social infrastructure. The use of GIS technologies serves to scientifically substantiate the decision-making process, increasing the accuracy of demographic forecasts and the possibilities of visual analysis

This study investigates the associations between sociodemographic factors and out-of-school rates among children of compulsory school age in Uzbekistan, using nationally representative household survey data. Out-of-school rates were analyzed across primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary education levels. Results reveal that students at the upper secondary level are significantly more likely to be out of school compared to younger peers. Additionally, household wealth was significantly associated with school exclusion at the primary and lower secondary levels. No significant differences were found by gender, area of residence, or region, suggesting possible progress in educational equity or limitations in aggregate-level data to detect more nuanced disparities. The study offers practical implications for targeted interventions and calls for further research using causal and longitudinal methods to better understand the mechanisms behind school non-attendance.

This study focuses on university students and teachers at Bukhara State University in Uzbekistan to examine socio-psychological factors impacting the learning of English as a foreign language.

Results show demographic details of students' backgrounds and parents' occupations. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding these factors in English language education.
