Unemployment in Armenia

In Armenia, the level of unemployment is higher among youth. And according to the United Nations in Armenia unemployment among 15-24 youth is over 40% .  The main reason is that the youth don’t have work experience, professional skills, and the companies are hardly able to give beginners a work also they don’t have a platform which would adjust these obstacles. With the application that we have created, we will help the youth to get a job, do half term jobs or volunteering work and make an online resume with the skills that they have gained from the work they have done due to this application. Later, this online resume will help the young people to get a job. And the companies will see the activities and capacities of the future worker. Our application is useful for the young people, for the companies and also for individual people.More than 18% of Armenia's economically active population is unemployed. It is about 224 thousand citizens. In the last five years, Armenia had the highest unemployment rate among CIS countries. According to the World Bank and the National Statistical Service, the average unemployment rate in Armenia during the 28 years of independence (1991-2016) was 21.7%. The highest unemployment rate was achieved in 2001 - 35.9%, and the lowest in 2013 - 16.2%. However, according to the report "Economic Situation in Armenia", the unemployment rate has been steadily rising in recent years. The report notes that the emigration from the socio-economic situation in the republic is the priority. 2011-2018 According to official statistics, Armenia's permanent population has dropped by 22.8 thousand. During this period, an average of 40,000 citizens crossed the country border every year and did not return. Nowadays there are employment agencies, work announcement web pages where they post jobs for those people who have occupations and work experience. If you are a student or a high school learner and you want to do short-term jobs or volunteering jobs in your free time, you can hardly find jobs on web-pages for you.
