BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 7. Tajikistan's labor
force aged 15–75 exceeded three million people in 2025.
The information was announced by the Agency on Statistics under
the President of the Republic of Tajikistan.
"The labor force aged 15–75 totaled 3,018,773 people," the
survey said.
According to the survey, men accounted for 1,950,415 people, or
64.6% of the labor force, while women represented 1,068,358 people,
or 35.4%.
The largest labor force was recorded in the Khatlon region with
more than one million people, followed by the Sughd region with
1,077,647 people. The Districts of Republican Subordination
accounted for 528,489 people, Dushanbe for 320,835, and the
Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region for 90,724.
According to Trend's analysis, Tajikistan's labor force continues
to expand alongside the country's population growth, with
economically active citizens concentrated in the country's largest
agricultural regions. The high share of workers in Khatlon and
Sughd underlines their importance as key contributors to national
economic activity and employment. The regional distribution also
reflects the concentration of agricultural production and growing
economic activity outside the capital, highlighting the importance
of balanced regional development policies.
Looking ahead, further improvements in labor productivity, job
creation, and investment in regional industries could strengthen
employment opportunities across the country. Continued economic
diversification may also help create higher-value jobs while
supporting balanced regional development and long-term economic
growth. Expanding vocational training, encouraging private sector
investment, and improving labor market efficiency could further
enhance employment prospects and strengthen Tajikistan's economic
resilience in the coming years.
