ArmInfo. The Commission of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia on Labor and Social Issues, with the support of the International Republican Institute (IRI), organized discussions on June 18 on the draft employment strategy for the population of Armenia for 2024-2030.
According to the press service of the RA National Assembly, during the discussions, the chairman of the commission, Heriknaz Tigranyan, said that the document is currently in official circulation in the RA government. After working discussions in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, within 15 days, deputies will be able to submit their proposals to the commission or the executive body.
According to the Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Affairs of the Republic of Armenia Ruben Sargsyan, the document represents a political vision with clear definitions, standards and format. This is a document not only of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, but also of the government, on which employees of several ministries worked.
According to him, the peculiarity of the RA employment strategy is that it has long been discussed both in Armenia and abroad with the involvement of experts from the International Labor Organization, the World Bank, and other international and local structures. According to the deputy minister, the document is aimed not only at solving the problem of a narrow perception of employment, but also at developing the economy. "I would like to express special gratitude to our partners - Ameria CJSC and Civita Armenia, who made a serious contribution to the development of this project," said Ruben Sargsyan.
The head of the Armenian office of the International Republican Institute, James Devitt, said that the discussions were organized within the framework of the IRI program "Strengthening Electoral Processes and Political Accountability." <We give priority to interdepartmental cooperation, communication, and the development of inclusive participation policies. The International Republican Institute is pleased to support the discussion of the strategic employment program, which will be an important document for the country. I would also like to thank Parliament and the Ministry for their effective cooperation," said James De Witt.
Representatives of Ameria CJSC and Civita Armenia Tigran Jrbashyan and Sevak Hovhannisyan presented the draft employment strategy of the Republic of Armenia for 2024-2030 and answered questions from deputies.
