WHAT ABOUT THEIR ECONOMY AND DEVELOPMENT?

Tajikistan is at an early stage of development according to the Rostow Development Model. Although there has been progress in certain aspects, the country still faces significant challenges in achieving sustainable economic growth and comprehensive development. Tajikistan is in the "take-off" stage according to Rostow, where efforts are being made to diversify the economy and modernize key sectors, such as agriculture, industry, and services.

In terms of Wallerstein's development model, Tajikistan is in the "periphery" category. The country is heavily dependent on the export of raw materials and agricultural products, Tajikistan faces challenges in terms of external dependence and vulnerability to changes in commodity prices on international markets.

In terms of labor structure, approximately 70% of the labor force in Tajikistan is employed in the primary sector, which includes agriculture and mining. The secondary sector, which comprises industry and manufacturing, employs about 10% of the labor force. The tertiary sector, which includes services such as trade, transportation, and tourism, employs approximately 20% of the workforce.

Tajikistan's main export product is cotton, which constitutes a significant part of its export earnings. Other important export products include aluminum, textiles, fruits, and chemicals. Tajikistan also imports a variety of goods, including machinery, fuels, and food products.

Tajikistan has received financial support from institutions such as the World Bank and has attracted foreign direct investment in key sectors such as energy and mining. These financing and FDI flows have been important for the development of infrastructure and the promotion of economic growth in the country.
