    Azat Artsakh - Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
    09 Jan 05

    NKR State Budget 2005 increased social expenditure by 30 per cent. The
    main strategy of social security and social insurance will be maximum
    possible protection of socially vulnerable population through a
    balanced developmentof the economy. In this context it is a priority
    to regulate legislatively the relationships government - employer -
    labour force. After the adoption of the Labour Code it is planned to
    work out draft decisions of the NKR governmentwhich will favour the
    enactment of the Code, including the decisions `On State Work Agency',
    `Obligatory Insurance against Accidents and Professional Diseases', `
    Obligatory Insurance against Temporary Disability'. A practical step
    in the implementation of the salary policy is the increase in the
    minimum salary from 10 to 15 thousand drams since January 1, 2005.

    This year for the first timein the republic the basket of goods will
    be calculated and maintained by the government for the coming three
    years. It will underlie the maintenance of the size of the minimum
    salary, pensions, scholarship, as well as benefits and allowances. In
    2005 the salary of teachers increased by 65 per cent, healthworkers 26
    per cent, certain specialists working in the sphere of culture 22.4
    per cent. Pension will increase by 1000 drams and the value of one
    year of service will total 160 drams (against 140 in 2004). Benefits
    paid to different categories of children have been increased by about
    50 per cent. 21 per cent of budget expenses (4 billion 490 million
    drams exceeding 2004 by 317.7 million drams) will be directed at
    social security and social insurance.
