In Azerbaijan, the youth unemployment rate is 9.7%, the Minister of Labor and Social Protection of Population Salim Muslimov said today during a meeting with the deputy head of the UN Development Programme, Regional Director for Europe and CIS Bureau Cihan Sultanoglu.
He optimistically described the figure - the country, according to UN estimates, is among the top ten leading countries in this sector, and in creating jobs it focuses on the non-oil sector. “In the first half of the year 90,000 jobs were created, of which 78,000 are on a regular basis,” the Minister added.
According to Turan, the unemployment rate is much higher, as for many able-bodied villagers, and that is about 40% of the workers, land plots devoid of infrastructure and located a long way from their places of residence are fixed. According to the Committee, the owners of those plots are considered employed, but in fact they do not have earnings. --17D-
