HUMAN CAPITAL IMPACT OF INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE INDICATORS IN UZBEKISTAN
Abstract
This study examines the impact of human capital on investment performance indicators in Uzbekistan, highlighting the critical role of education, skills, and workforce development in shaping economic outcomes. The research analyzes the relationship between human capital and key investment indicators, including GDP growth, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, and productivity levels. Using a combination of empirical data and qualitative analysis, the study identifies how improvements in human capital contribute to enhanced investment performance and economic growth in Uzbekistan. The findings suggest that strategic investments in education and training are essential for sustaining long-term economic development and attracting foreign investment. The study concludes with recommendations for policymakers to prioritize human capital development as a key driver of investment performance and economic prosperity.
