Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting on employment and meaningful organization of youth leisure.

The state youth policy in our country is characterized by targeting and wide coverage. In particular, last year, in 9,406 mahallas of the ball, the activities of youth leaders were established, and the possibility of problems for young people directly in the mahalla was created. As a result, the duration of consideration of youth applications has been reduced from 30 to 5 days. Currently, 25 types of assistance are provided to young men and women on the recommendation of leaders.

In order to address vital issues and ensure the employment of the younger generation, the social situation of 9 million young people aged 14-30 years was analyzed. For the meaningful organization of leisure and the disclosure of the talents of young people, the “Olympiad of Five Initiatives” is held.

The meeting stressed the need to continue and bring this work to a qualitatively new level.

The head of our state put forward an initiative to implement the "School of Life" program aimed at vocational training and employment of school graduates.

It was determined that in order to fully cover the youth with attention and support, it will be assigned to state bodies through the system "from the mahalla to the ministry."

The task was set to digitalize the processes of formation and financing of funds allocated to youth, to ensure the targeting of these allocations. Instructions were given to support entrepreneurial initiatives, develop business skills for boys and girls.

Our youth shows great interest in art, literature and sports. In order to expand access to the conditions created in these areas, Caravan of Culture events, festivals, intellectual and sports competitions will be held locally. Youth alleys and creative parks will be organized.

The importance of creating and regularly updating alternative information resources for the reliable protection of young people from destructive influence was noted.

At the meeting, responsible persons reported on action plans for the current year.
