The Center for Economic Research estimates the quality of the presentation of the socio-economic system in Azerbaijan defined by fuzzy analysis. This is the first peer review in the world.
Analysis of the socio-economic system of the country was made by the head of laboratory Fuzzy Economy of the Institute of Cybernetics of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan Korkmaz Imanov. Overall, the analysis, which was based on official statistics and expertise in the various sectors of society, rated the quality of social and economic system as "average."
Low estimate was given to the social climate. Economic system, in spite of the many positive aspects of it, got 0.5 from 1 possible score. As estimated Imanov, the middle class in Azerbaijan includes only 9% of the population. Approximately 10% of the population lives below the poverty line. The bulk of the population has low purchasing capacity.
The formula of fuzzy analysis of the quality of social and economic system is applicable to all countries. Materials of fuzzy analysis of the socio-economic status were published in many countries. - 08C -
