Talking about creating jobs in the Republic of Armenia at the opening
ceremony of the 22nd scientific session on the subject Increasing
National Economic Competitiveness that took
place in the State University of Economics, Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan stated that there was a psychological situation - able-bodied
members of needy families were not willing to work, although they
could earn 100-120 thousand AMD instead of 30-50-thousand-AMD social
benefit. "We should overcome this psychological complex, in order
that a man provides for his family with his work."
So does it turn out that there are jobs in the country, but there are
no workers? Is it the real picture, particularly in regions? A small
survey conducted by www.aravot.am among the residents of the town
of Spitak showed that the majority of them either don't have a job,
or are paid very little, or are compelled to look for a job abroad.
A middle-aged resident of Spitak explained that the reason for
the current situation was the fact that there was no factory. The
residents of Spitak say the following to the Prime Minister: "Let
the Prime Minister find us a job. Let him say where, in order that
people know. Otherwise, it is empty talk."
Another resident of Spitak resented that "there is no youth in town,
there are only old people, and they idle about the whole day. Perhaps,
it is the only town, where there are no jobs."
A woman said in despair that when she applied for a job, she was told
that "there is no job that suits your age."
Many youths that talked to us don't even think about looking for a job.
