Количество формально занятых на конец 2024 года достигло 783,9 тыс. человек – это на 5,2 % больше, чем год назад, сообщает агентство Arka.am со ссылкой на Министерство экономики Республики Армения.

В докладе Минэкономики, посвященном социально-экономическому положению Армении по итогам 2024 года, также отмечаются ведущие отрасли занятости для граждан страны.

Так, больше всего трудится в сфере оптовой и розничной торговли - почти 135 тыс. работников. В отрасли образования занята 128 тыс. человек. Порядка 91 тыс. работников трудятся в обрабатывающей промышленности. Здравоохранение и социальное обслуживание населения выбрали 53,4 тысяч человек, информацию и связь – 45,6 тысяч работников, а в строительстве работают 42 тысячи граждан.

Практически во всех отраслях экономики зафиксирован рост занятости. Исключение составил сектор государственного управления и обороны – впрочем, с крайне незначительным сокращением числа сотрудников (на 0,02%).

  • CIS Countries Change Their Approach to Women's Labor

    A roundtable discussion titled "Labor Protection for Women" was held at the CIS Headquarters with the support of the Advisory Council on Labor, Employment, and Social Protection of the Population of the CIS Member States.

    For trade unions, March 8 is not just a day of spring and renewal.

    For trade unions, March 8 is not merely a day of spring and renewal. Above all, it is an opportunity to once again reflect on the role of women in the world of work and in global development as a whole. Today, women perform 55% of the world’s total labor. They work longer hours than men—by 6 to 13 hours per week—and still earn less: on average, women’s wages amount to 66–84% of men’s wages, depending on the country. There is objective evidence that the more a country values women’s labor and the smaller the gender pay gap, the more developed its economy. A special issue is the “invisibility” of women’s domestic and, as experts call it, reproductive labor. This is why trade unions should continue to fight for justice for working women.

    I congratulate all women of the CIS, my colleagues in the parliamentary corps, and women in trade unions on International Women’s Day. I wish you justice, decent work, success, and prosperity!

    The General Confederation of Trade Unions’ (GCTU) proposals are reflected in the draft CIS model law “On Cross-Border Insolvency and Bankruptcy.”

    Trade unions must have the right to represent and protect workers’ interests in the bankruptcy of international companies, according to Viktor Pinsky, Member of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and General Secretary of the GCTU.
