YEREVAN, April 8. / ARKA /. The advisory unit of Ameria company is developing a package of proposals to improve and increase the efficiency of the pension system at the order of Armenian labor and social security ministry.
The proposals will deal with the reformation of the way used to calculate pension benefits for long service, disability and also when a family loses the breadwinner.

"Currently we are specifying the existing problems, along with looking into the best international experience. Then Ameria will develop a model that will best fit the situation in Armenia", Tigran Grigoryan, a senior specialist of the advisory unit, was quoted as saying.
"We plan to complete the work on May 31 of this year", he said.
