The appointment of key "reformist" positions in the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Azerbaijan is going on. The Director of Research and Training Centre on Labor and Social Issues is the former head of the department of social protection policies for disabled people, Vugar Hasanov.
According to the Ministry spokesman Elman Babayev, this is due to the need to develop a theoretical framework, which is one of the main activities of the center, which has strong ties with such influential organizations as the United Nations Population Fund, the European Training Foundation, the World Bank and others.
According to the new idea of the ministry, the Center, along with the study of advanced experience in the field of labor and social protection, will develop projects and proposals to reform this sector, taking into account the world experience. - 17D-
