ARMENIA’S DEMOGRAPHIC DIPLOMACY AND THE CHALLENGES OF THE DIGITALIZATION ERA

Abstract

In the years of independence, the ineffective resettlement policy, and in some years, its absence in Artsakh and Armenia, the disproportionate distribution of the population and resources did not allow for effective and balanced development, which only led to the increase in the level of poverty / in Armenia in 2023. 42 percent poverty is predicted at the beginning/ 1 ։ In this sense, the fact that not all developing countries are conducting a targeted demographic policy is not at all comforting. As for developed countries, there are quite different problems here as well. Basically, their birth rate is low, which means that the population grows slowly, hence the problem of shortage of labor resources. Therefore, the mentioned countries are trying to implement policies aimed at increasing the birth rate: one-time payments to young people, benefits, state support for the birth of a child, monthly child allowance, loans for large families, etc. It is natural that we accept the use of incentives typical of developed countries.
