By empty (2/10/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)

A study co-funded by the OSCE\'s Yerevan Office and the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office of out-migration from Armenia in search of employment estimated the number of people who have left Armenia over the past three years in search of employment at approximately 147,000, or 4.6 percent of the total population. Of that number, some 90 percent sought work in other CIS states and the remainder in the EU and the United States.

Of that number, some 90 percent sought work in other CIS states and the remainder in the EU and the United States. Some 85 percent of those job-seekers are men aged between 21-50 with secondary or vocational education. Between 2002-2005 they sent almost $300 million in remittances to their families at home. Over the same time period, some 95,000 Armenians who had left the country earlier in search of work returned, the study found. (Noyan Tapan)
