Press Review for 7 March 2018

State concern for education, the level of unemployment, and the possibility of rising inflation as a result of increasing pensions and salaries are the leading topics of today's press.

The website YAPorg.az writes about the care of the state, rendered to the education sphere, which strengthens the human capital. According to Dilara Ismayilova, socio-economic reforms in the country and the results achieved are aimed at realizing the national intellectual potential, supporting the people and developing the school system.

The newspaper Novoye Vremya discusses the unemployment rate in the country, which has declined, but remains a serious problem.

In 2017 the bodies of the Employment Service registered 118.5 thousand unemployed people, 47.9 thousand of whom were provided with work.

Labor fairs for students and graduates in general are also useless, because young people who want to find a job are more than vacancies. For this reason, emigration from Azerbaijan and, first of all, to Russia is growing.

The Yeni Musavat newspaper writes that raising salaries and pensions can lead to an increase in inflation.

More than 910 thousand people receive a salary from the state budget. The number of pensioners is 1 million 300 thousand people. As soon as pensions and salaries are raised in Azerbaijan, prices immediately rise. Given that Novruz Bayram is coming, you can draw the appropriate conclusions. -0 ---
