According to the minister of employment and social security Aghvan
Vardanyan, the rate of the demographic growth in Armenia is highly
worrying, the news agency ARKA reports. The minister stated that
over the past 25 years Armenia has been facing serious demographic
problems. Against the annual 80-84 thousand children born in Armenia
the late 1980s and the early 1990s, the annual rate of birth has
been 40 thousand children over the past 2-3 years. The rate of birth
has halved. One of the chief reasons, according to Aghvan Vardanyan,
is the problem of government assistance to young families.
