Methods of demographic dependency and labor market in Namangan region: Methodological guide

This research and methodological work provides a comprehensive structural analysis of the core mechanisms underlying the calculation of the demographic dependency ratio and the advanced forecasting of the labor market balance within the Namangan Region. It systemizes complex geodemographic data presented in an interconnected and complementary framework across various administrative districts. The methodology integrates classical demographic equations-specifically the youth, old-age, and total dependency ratios-with multi-factor socioeconomic forecasting tools, including linear trend extrapolation and the cohort-component (age-shift) method. Each mathematical algorithm and geodemographic regularity is clearly defined, scientifically substantiated, and cross-referenced with detailed explanations. Synthesized from a wide array of specialized geographical literature, this framework structures regional population reproduction into a coherent academic system highly intended for university faculty, geography students, and regional development planners.
