This article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the training system for production workers at garment manufacturing enterprises in Uzbekistan, the identification of existing problems, and the development of well-founded proposals for its improvement. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that, within the context of Uzbekistan’s garment manufacturing enterprises, the current state of the worker training system has been comprehensively analyzed, experimental studies have been conducted, and a system of practical recommendations has been developed through the integration of international and domestic experience. The approaches proposed in the article may be used by managers of garment manufacturing enterprises, HR managers, as well as faculty members of higher education institutions providing training for the industry, as methodological material for optimizing training programs, making investment decisions, and enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises.

In recent years, agricultural production has become increasingly challenging due to climate change, land degradation, and environmental pollution. The application of sustainable agricultural practices is viewed as a viable solution to these issues. Calculating the sustainability index of agricultural producers can serve as a useful tool in identifying appropriate solutions. This study develops and applies a methodology for the quantitative assessment of the Sustainable Agriculture Practices (SAP) Index, based on survey data collected from 300 wheat-producing farm enterprises in the Samarkand region. The findings indicate that the average sustainability index among the surveyed farms is 0.34, suggesting that the production practices employed by these farms are characterized by a low level of sustainability.

This paper examines the impact of loyalty programs on customer loyalty in the fashion industry. A systematic literature review was conducted first, followed by an online survey of 200 respondents. Logistic regression analysis revealed that program participation, discounts, and mobile app usage positively influence purchasing decisions. The model’s pseudo R² of 0.48 indicates that the included variables explain over half of the variance. Findings highlight financial incentives and the convenience of digital platforms as critical drivers of customer loyalty. The study emphasizes the need to combine thorough literature review, empirical surveys, and econometric modeling to design effective loyalty programs.

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.

Identifying ways to improve corporate culture in joint-stock companies requires close attention to both its advantages and its shortcomings. An effective corporate culture directly influences a company’s operations and long-term prospects. It is one of the key drivers of success and plays a decisive role in maintaining competitive advantage. Corporate culture also affects employees’ moral qualities, commitment, productivity, physical health and emotional well-being within the team. This article analyses the corporate-culture problems typical of joint-stock companies and sets out practical solutions. It considers the importance of culture, its place in corporate activity and its impact on economic indicators. The problems identified include an underdeveloped culture, weak communication among staff, and failure to observe ethical standards and values. Proposed remedies include strategic approaches to shaping culture, regular training and educational programmes, fostering an atmosphere of open dialogue and trust, and developing and implementing codes of ethics. The study offers practical recommendations for improving and effectively managing corporate culture in joint-stock companies.
