Abstract: This study aims to define the interstate disparities in provisions of level of socio-economic development in Uzbekistan, compare regions’ level of development, and identify backward parts units of Uzbekistan. For this study, the regional administrative division has been taken as the unit of analysis. Fourteen regional administrative divisions of Uzbekistan have been included in the analysis. The present investigation is exclusively obtained through the use of multivariate statistical methods–factor and cluster analysis, and based on secondary data sources. The data is collected from database of State committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on statistics. Multivariate techniques were successful in identifying the main axes of socio-economic characterization and the regions of the observed counties with different degrees of development. The results show that wide disparities in the level of socioeconomic development exist among different regions of Uzbekistan. The results show that in low development regions of Uzbekistan the level of industrial development does not significantly influence the agricultural and overall socioeconomic development while agricultural development influences overall socio-economic development. The study suggests that low developed regions require improvement in most of the indicators for enhancing their levels of overall socio-economic development. By means of the statistical analysis of socioeconomic indicators and empiric study, 6 regions were found to belong into a group of regions with low level of socioeconomic development: Republic of Karakalpakstan, Surkhandarya, Kashkadarya, Namangan, Jizzakh and Syrdarya. Even though the absolute elimination of regional disparities is not possible, if they continue to be ignored, they could undermine the socioeconomic and political situation in the country.

Key words: socioeconomic development; regional disparities; Principal component analysis (PCA), Composite Index.
