The lowest unemployment rate in Central Asia was recorded in Kyrgyzstan at 3.3%, while Tajikistan reported the highest rate at 11.6%.

The findings, published on the ILO's official website, are part of a global unemployment ranking that includes 187 countries.

Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan showed similarly low unemployment rates, with figures of 4.3%, 4.5%, and 4.8%, respectively. However, Tajikistan's 11.6% unemployment rate stands out as significantly higher than its regional counterparts.
