Employment in Azerbaijani way

Employment is one of the most important macroeconomic indicators, and the efforts of the State Statistics Committee of the rise in this area. The companies are growing like mushrooms after the rain, and the figures are adjusted to the progress report of the president. No one pays attention to that company within a year after the chief officer of the country to cut the red ribbon at the entrance of their stay idle. At best, it can be seen that where there should be more than one thousand works, at best, two or three hundred people.

At a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on the basis of economic development in the first half of 2013 the head of state said that opened were 55,000 jobs, of which 45,000 were permanent. These are wrong figures - in order to open 55,000 jobs, you need to use large production capacity. Information portals marked the launch of this year, the private grain complex, bakery enterprises producing cement, methanol, ship repair - shipyard, several production lines of two military companies, the winery - up to 10 thousand jobs. Most of these enterprises are not reached its design capacity, so that at each of them in the event of congestion will be from 400 to thousands of employees.

Statistics overlooks the number of cuts and layoffs. At the time, the government declared the discovery in 2003 1,180,000 new jobs, the number of laid-off amounted to about 1.1 million people. If they are to add employees, part-timers, you get zero efficiency. Meticulously counting the number of closed businesses get digital balancing act. Example: in the power of Shirvan worked 1.3 thousand people. The other day instead launched the TPP Janub, which employs about 300 people - that is, the number of unemployed was supplemented by a thousand people. And this pattern is followed throughout the country.

In addition, according to the government turns out that in 2003 there were 1.5 million unemployed. Proof that the state itself is laying off many times more than recruiting, is the activity of SOCAR. So, in this state campaign to January 1, 2011 there were 84,000 employees, and on 1 January 2013 - 66 thousand 234 workers (by the way, the oil monopoly in that time several times to rotate frames). Thus, there is a reduction of 18 000 or about 25%. Added to this is also the reductions made in other public companies related to the improvement of the technique (AzerSu, Bakelektroshebeke, etc.). If we consider the practice of non-payment of salaries for months, it will show the nominal employment.

Interestingly, along with a reduction in Azerbaijan SOCAR has invested 630 million dollars in gas stations in the various countries of Europe. Thus, reducing the capital investment in the domestic economy, the government increased its exports because local unemployed periodically emigrate, knowing that in the country to get a job more difficult than abroad. According to research by the European Union wishing to leave Azerbaijan has decreased compared to previous years, but labor migration increases and changes its orientation - if before people went to the CIS countries, Europe is now a priority. At the moment, 2.5% are sent to the EU. This rate may soon increase to 10.5% - believed European experts. According to the Diaspora, Russia is home to about 2.5 million citizens of Azerbaijan, while there are many of those who refused citizenship.

This trend coincides with the trend of emigration of capital. If SOCAR and some other monopolists successfully seek to invest outside of our country, we might as well put your work in the economies of other countries, our citizens. By the upward trend in emigration can add recognition of the Ministry of Education that only 30% of those who come to study in foreign universities at public expense, the return to Azerbaijan. Among those who study there at its own expense, the percentage of defectors is close to 100. Thus, here and statistics say about the mass emigration.

Crude oil production as the main area of ​​the local economy has also become less attractive for local professionals. This is evident from the data of BP-Azerbaijan, where the percentage of Azerbaijanis was reduced to 85% (should be 90%), and among the management staff at all 13%. If you view the statistics for the rest of the businesses, we can see that the majority of states have reduced the oil companies, and they are already using the services of foreign infrastructure divisions.

In the private sector the situation is no better. According to official figures, the private sector employs 580,000 people. According to the Minister of Labor, this figure does not reflect today's realities. This is due to the fact that the official number of the working population in Azerbaijan is 4.4 million, but registered in the State Fund of Social Protection of just 2.85 million. Government for some reason repelled from the rest not registered. But all of the government's measures to identify more than 1.5 million uninsured people in the state fund so far come to nothing lead. But this is a considerable figure, and so many people just can not disappear - it is necessary to feed. So many illegal people do not physically exist or there should be a huge unaccounted enterprise or something really not understandable.

The Social Fund does not want to recognize the number of those who emigrated from the country, and the tax authorities pretty vigilant to identify the sources of income. No registration in these authorities may act unless some booth around the corner, which does not exactly have 100 employees. Many employers deduct money to the state fund or the minimum salary in the range of 100-120, while employees get 400-500 manats.

And yet, the State Statistics Committee figures of employment growth contrast with figures of other public bodies. Thus, the Central Bank of Azerbaijan has conducted monitoring of the real sector of the economy. This study involved the largest 300 companies in various fields of employment. It was found that employment in the construction sector decreased by 10.5% compared with the first half of 2012. The services sector has stagnated. In commerce and industry, which until then recorded a sharp drop to 25%, currently recorded a slight increase of 1-3%.

It turns out that the State Statistics Committee of dreams at the time, as there is no growth in the real sector, or in the oil industry. While the government is correlation, the employment situation is getting worse and worse ... -0-
