Then on social benefits in favor of self-employment has denied 271 families in 13 districts in all economic regions (except the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.)
Functions of the so-called self-support (employment income families) are different - the chairman of the CER Ghalib Togrul. First of all, in contrast to receiving targeted social assistance, a person is released by the society from serious psychological and social conditions, gaining confidence in their abilities. Freedom from government dependence allows him to cultivate more successfully integrate into society and go through the process of rehabilitation. Children of busy parents grow freer and the living standards and material welfare of such families involved in individual labor becomes higher.
