    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ There are 55 centers for social services in Armenia,
    12 of which are in Yerevan. 60-70% of social service employees belong
    to a socially needy strata of the country, Astghik Minasyan, head
    of Social Welfare department of the RA Ministry of labor and social
    issues told journalists today.

    "60-70 per cent of social workers paid low wages around 40,000 AMD,
    which result in drain of high standard professionals, particularly
    lawyers," Astghik Minasyan said.

    According to her, establishment of a new association for social
    workers can help to settle these issues.

    "50 per cent of Armenians who had worked abroad had already returned
    to Armenia due to financial crisis, which could not stand affecting
    country's labor market welfare level", Astghik Minasyan said.
