Registration regulation is an essential prerequisite of employment and unemployment effective management

Abstract

The problem of unemployment registration in Georgia has been existed for a long time. The data calculated by «Geostat « and experts on this issue dramatically varies from each other. According to the official statistical data at present the level of unemployment in Georgia is 12.7 percent; By the assessment of the experts, by the author of this article, Mr. M. Tugushi, among them, in fact , it is 3 times more at least. The main reason for this difference are the shortcomings in the sphere of registration of employed and unemployed persons. By the Author“s opinion, in Georgia, due to its economic development and jobs remuneration, it is inappropriate to consider a person as employed in case, if he is employed during one hour per week (or 4 hours per month, 48 hours per year), as well as those, who own land in rural areas. According to such an approach the number of employees would be artificially increased and y the number of unemployed would be consequently reduced. If we do not properly account (register) the number of employed and unemployed people, then we cannot develop effective measures to reduce unemployment in the country, which is not in the best interests for the country or for its population. According to the author“s opinion, employment should be a guarantee of social protection for the population and their income should at least provide a living wage calculated on a justified basis. People with low incomes should be considered as the part-time employees.
