Abstract
Objective: This study aims to analyze the trends in birth rates in Uzbekistan from 1890 to 1990, identifying key factors influencing these trends and examining their demographic implications in relation to SDG 5: Gender Equality. Theoretical Framework: Grounded in demographic transition theory, this research explores how birth rates fluctuate due to social, economic, and historical changes, with a particular focus on gender and age structure, and the impact of women’s education and employment on fertility rates, aligning with SDG 5. Method: The study employs a historical analysis of birth rates in Uzbekistan over a century. It examines data from population censuses and assesses changes in demographic processes during periods of civil war, World War II, and the post-war years. Findings: The results indicate that significant shifts in Uzbekistan's birth rates are closely tied to historical events, such as wars, government policies, and economic transitions. Improvements in women’s education and employment are shown to have influenced fertility rates, in line with the goals of SDG 5. Research Implications: This study offers valuable insights for policymakers, contributing to demographic research and supporting strategies for gender equality in Uzbekistan.
