This article examines the historical and socio-economic factors shaping marriage age and birth rates in Uzbekistan from the 19th to 20th century. It explores early marriage traditions, the impact of 20th-century reforms, and shifting trends due to urbanization and economic changes. Special focus is given to the post-1991 period, where economic transitions, education, and contraception contributed to declining birth rates. The study highlights how cultural norms, policies, and economic conditions have influenced demographic trends over time.
