            Official indicator of the unemployment level in Georgia (in 2019 – 11.6%, according to the 7 months of 2020 – 12.3%) calculated by the “Sakstati” of Georgia is not very high, but the Experts consider  that  in  real  life  this  figure  is  3  times  higher  in  the  country,  and  we  also  agree  to  it. Proceeding from this, effective management and regulation of employment and unemployment of  the  population  is  the  most  significant  problem  of  our  country,  which  has  been  proven  by numerous surveys. 

            The Ministry of Employment and Unemployment Affairs of Georgia had only existed a few years since the restoration of independence of the country, after several stages of reform it has gradually been expanded and at present the Ministry is established in the form of the "Ministry of Refugees  from  the  Occupied  Territories,  Labor,  Health  and  Social  Affairs."  Unfortunately,  as  a result  of  the  above  mentioned  reformations  the  focus  on  managing  the  procedures  of  labor, employment, and unemployment has gradually diminished. This is clearly seen when comparing the articles of the Ministry's regulations at different stages of development.

            We are well aware of the fact that the process of overcoming the labor, employment and unemployment issues in the country is a very complex and multifaceted problem and it could not be achieved only with the perfect organizational structure of the relevant Ministry and as a result of the functions provided in its regulations, but overcoming the issues of unemployment could not be managed without the relevant role of the appropriate Ministry.

            Therefore, for the purpose of management and regulation of the processes in the sphere of employment  and  unemployment,  for  improvement  of  the  current  situation,  first  of  all,  it  is necessary: 

1.In  view  of  the  consequences  of  the  Coronavirus  pandemic-Covid-19,  it  is  necessary  tospecify  the  deadlines  for  the  implementation  of  the  Georgian  Labor  and  Employment  Policy Strategy  of  2019-2023  (Resolution  #  662,  Annex  1)  approved  by  the  Government  of  Georgia  on December 30, 2019;

1. To be admitted the Law of Georgia “ About Employment”.
2. To restore the Department of Labor and Employment Policy in the Ministry of Refugees from the Occupied Territories, Labor, Health and Social Affairs;
3. In the above mentioned Ministry the status of the Curator of the Labor, Employment and Social Protection Affairs should be promoted up to the First Deputy Minister. Moreover, on this position of this field should be appointed an excellent specialist, who knows the specified field perfectly,  who  will  be  able  to  raise  the  problems  of  labor  and  employment  and  convince  the  necessity  of  solving  these  problems  together  with  the  Minister,  the  Parliament  and  the Government of Georgia.
