Descripción
As in other developing nations, maximizing the potential of young workers in Azerbaijan is essential for the advancement of growth and development, and the reduction of poverty. The country’s agriculture sector, mainly based on subsistence type farming, provides employment to 36.3 percent of the workforce. The sector also generates about two fifths of household income in rural areas. Recognizing the need to safeguard opportunities for rural youth, the government set youth employment in the agriculture sector as a country priority. The aim of the project was to enhance the self employability and entrepreneurship opportunities of rural young women and men.
