This thesis analyzes the regional differentiation of population incomes across the 14 administrative-territorial units of the Republic of Uzbekistan over 2010–2025 using statistical and econometric methods, and interprets the findings in relation to the priorities of the “Uzbekistan — 2030” Strategy for sustainable and inclusive economic growth. Calculations based on the coefficient of variation and the Theil(L) index show that inter-regional differentiation increased substantially between 2018 and 2025 (from 32.6% to 44.9%, and from 0.046 to 0.080, respectively). A Fixed Effects panel regression model estimated an investment elasticity of 0.677 (R²=0.934), while k-means and Ward clustering methods identified Tashkent city as a distinct “capital-anomaly” cluster. The study concludes with practical recommendations aimed at achieving the balanced regional development goals of the “Uzbekistan — 2030” Strategy.
