Employment strategy 2013-2018 of the Republic of Armenia
Regardless of the level of the current and long-term development of economy, employment is considered as one of priority areas for ensuring social-economic stability of the country, hence the state employment regulation and management stem from objective necessity. Here there is a need for highlighting the importance of “labour resource selection – labour market – population employment” cycle, which does not always provide for the effective balance in the labour market itself. Therefore, the main target for the state in this sphere has to be the provision of balances though additional efforts.
This employment strategy has been developed taking into consideration the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, the legal regulatory framework of the sphere, as well as the International labour Organization conventions and agreements concerning employment, the requirements of the European Social Charter, European Neighbourhood Policy. It provides a concise chapter on employment development and challenges, among which the labour market & education relation is discussed.
