Abstract

This article analyzes the role of youth entrepreneurship in Uzbekistan's startup ecosystem,
institutional mechanisms for its stimulation, and youth-targeted support programs. The economic significance of
engaging youth in startup activities is substantiated considering the country's demographic potential — over 60% of
the population is under 30. The relationship between the education system, digital literacy, and entrepreneurial
mindset is examined.
