Unemployment is the main problem of Armenian youth
YEREVAN, September 29. /ARKA/. A series of public opinion surveys conducted by an organization called Progressive Youth in the last 6 months in all 10 Armenian provinces embracing young people aged 16 - 25 revealed that they consider unemployment, lack of opportunity to acquire the skills necessary to get a job, as well as lack of information about job openings and educational programs as their main problems.

Speaking today at a youth forum titled "Everyone is Important’ the head of the organization Grigor Yeritsyan said “Everyone is Important" is being implemented in Armenia, Ukraine and Moldova as part of the Eastern Partnership project. 

Yeritsyan, could not say how many young people had been surveyed by the polls, saying the polls had been conducted both in rural and urban communities. The program also included seminars in which participants were taught how to properly compile CVs, use e-mail, and search for relevant information on the Internet.

Approved by 27 EU member-states at the December 2008 summit in Brussels, the initiators of the Eastern Partnership were Poland and Sweden. The program aims at bringing together Ukraine, Armenia, Moldavia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and, possibly, Belarus. 

The program’s objective is to boost political cooperation and integrate ex-soviet states into EU economy, as well as extend financial assistance to these countries and ensure energy safety in post-Soviet space. –0—
