Abstract
This article presents a scientific analysis of the problems of the socio-economic way of life and demographic processes of the population of the Kashkadarya and Surkhandarya oases and their features in the late 19th centuries. The administrative centers experienced an increase in population and ethnic composition, but in rural areas their standard of living was significantly higher. An analysis of demographic processes shows that the population of this southern region accelerated the transition to a more sedentary lifestyle during this period. As a result of these factors, the population of the cities, which were the administrative centers in the southern oases, gradually increased, and gradually commercial and industrial enterprises appeared. In conclusion, it is concluded that there were still many problems in the demographic processes of the social life of the population in the principalities of the southern oases.
