Summary (English)

The report contains results of the poll conducted on the U-Report platform that was developed by UNICEF and is managed with the national partners in order to engage youth in decision-making. In Uzbekistan, U-Report runs on the Telegram mobile messenger platform due to its popularity, but polls are also conducted on Facebook and via SMS. The U-Report messenger bot connects more than 226,000 young users, and the student population is the most likely to respond to polls conducted on the platform. U-Report is currently the only comprehensive youth platform in Uzbekistan for quickly ascertaining the opinions and attitudes of 
young people throughout the country. 
Polls conducted on this platform should not be considered truly representative due to the limitations in the sampling technique. However, these polls do provide a picture of the general trends and attitudes among Uzbek youth.
This poll was designed to show how young people perceive social protection and promotion of employment. More than 14,000 respondents began the questionnaire, while 8,708 answered at least half of the questions. This report presents the responses of those who answered at least half the questions. 
The first half of the poll (4 questions) covered social protection and young people’s perception of it. The second half (3 questions) asked employment-related questions. The poll was limited to seven questions because of the age of the targeted respondents and the online nature of the poll.
