Azerbaijan intends to refuse the services of low-skilled foreign professionals. At yesterday's meeting of the government on the basis of the first half of 2015 the Minister of Labor and Social Protection of Population Salim Muslimov said they will tighten the rules for issuing permits for the activities of migrant workers.
From January to July, according to him, the State Migration Service received 935 requests for registration of labor migrants' rights. Although this figure is 11.8% more than in the same period last year, only 7% of these applications relate to highly qualified specialists.
"In accordance with the decree of 24 December 2014 on the formation of patenting in the labor market in order to attract highly qualified personnel, as well as the tightening of the rules permitting the unskilled, proposals have been developed to be submitted in the near future," said the minister. --17D-
