Directions for Enhancing the Economic Efficiency of Employment Policy in Azerbaijan

Abstract

Employment is one of the key macroeconomic indicators characterizing a country's level of socio-economic development, while also playing a crucial role in improving public welfare, reducing poverty, and ensuring social stability. In the contemporary period, structural transformations in the labour market, the acceleration of digitalization, global economic changes, and demographic trends have necessitated the development of employment policies based on new approaches. In recent years, Azerbaijan has implemented significant institutional and legal reforms aimed at regulating employment, increasing labour market transparency, reducing informal employment, enhancing the economic participation of socially vulnerable population groups, and promoting sustainable employment
