A strategy of stable development of the labor and social security
system is to be elaborated in Armenia within the next 18 years.

At a news conference on the first 100 days of his work, RA Minister
of Labor and Social Security Aghvan Vardanyan reported that the
elaboration of the document is incorporated in the RA Government’s
program for 2008-2010 as one of the principal components.

According to him, Armenia needs a single document to sum up the
results of the reforms implemented over the last few years and present
a policy of implementing further reforms.

"The social sector consists of numerous components, and it is high time
to sum up the results of all the measures to prevent discrepancies,"
Vardanyan said.

The Minister added that the document also envisages Armenia’s European
integration and harmonization of the country’s social security system
with European standards.
