This article examines the role of payroll and tax digitalization in enhancing the stability of the labor market. The relevance of the topic is justified within the context of global digital transformation and the growing need for transparency and formalization in labor relations. Through a comparative approach, the paper analyzes international experiences from countries such as Estonia, Germany, the United States, and India, contrasting them with recent reforms in Uzbekistan. Using correlation and regression analysis, the study explores the relationships between digitalization indicators and labor market metrics, such as formal employment, tax revenue growth, and the reduction of the informal economy. The results show that digital tools significantly contribute to labor market resilience and institutional integrity. The article concludes with practical recommendations for strengthening digital infrastructure and legal frameworks to ensure sustainable economic and social outcomes.
