Tashkent, October 30 (Xinhua) – Uzbekistan intends to advance the improvement of its social insurance system, the presidential press service announced on Wednesday.
"On October 29, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev reviewed a presentation of proposals to improve the social insurance system," the statement read.
As noted, proposals aimed at expanding the coverage of the population with social benefits and bringing the national social insurance system into line with international standards were considered.
"It is planned that all officially employed citizens will be gradually covered by payments from the Social Insurance Fund. Starting in 2026, the fund will begin paying maternity benefits, and starting in the second half of 2026, temporary disability benefits," the statement reads.
As the President emphasized, the main goal of the new system is not only to strengthen social protection for women and workers, but also to stimulate formal labor relations.
The head of state approved the proposals presented and gave specific instructions on digitalizing the social insurance system, ensuring its transparency, and introducing a proactive procedure for assigning and paying benefits.
