Abstract

The author investigates thoroughly the methodological framework and extra components of the Women, Business, and Law Index concerning the Republic of Uzbekistan in the academic essay. This research includes a study of the regulatory and normative obstacles that hinder the country's progress in this ranking. The author systematically evaluates the current challenges to identify and examine the significant concerns impeding development. The report also provides detailed suggestions carefully crafted to tackle these difficulties. The author systematically analyzes the elements influencing Uzbekistan's present position in the index to provide effective remedies. This inquiry is crucial for stakeholders seeking to improve gender equality and support women's involvement in commercial and legal fields in Uzbekistan. The article contributes substantially to the discussion on gender equality, providing valuable insights that might influence policy changes and legal reforms to enhance the country's position in the Women, Business, and Law Index.
