Type of practice
Summary
Assessment study was initiated and conducted within the framework of “Strengthening of Armenia’s Identity Management System” Project, aiming to articulate the assessment of Armenia’s need to establish a Work Permit System (WPIS). Based on the conducted assessment results, work permit issuance system in Armenia has been established and properly functions. WPIS has been developed and implemented within the framework of the labour migration management reforms, initiated by the Government of Armenia, and supported by the IOM. The aim of development and introduction of work permit issuance electronic system was improvement of overall security and labour market regulations. The assessment report has revealed the existing gaps and recommended the Armenian Government to pursue the work permit issuance system in an incremental phased approach to allow for bridging considerable gaps that may hinder such a system.
