“In 2014 we had the first round of peer reviews within the framework of partnership on youth employment with eight countries of the CIS and Georgia,” Pouchkin said in Baku on February 2. “Now we are preparing for the second round. This time Tajikistan’s policy will be evaluated and Azerbaijan will do a peer review.”
Azerbaijan had achieved impressive results in economic diversification, modernization and reform of the social sphere and stabilization of the labour market, he said.
Within the framework of the project in Azerbaijan the ILO partially subsidizes wages to young men and women who face difficulties while entering the labour market and thus creates incentives for employers and supports youth entrepreneurship in rural areas, Mikhail Pouchkin said.
Pouchkin expressed the hope that if these projects proved successful, they could become a part of the Azerbaijani government’s national employment policy.
