At the same time, the World Bank Group's "Business Ready" rating report was also discussed. Information was provided on the work done in the field of improving the legislation on the roadmap in accordance with this report.
It was noted that the World Bank Group's "Business Ready" rating assesses the legal and administrative framework of the business environment in countries, and in this context, labour legislation, employee rights and simplicity of employment procedures are among the main criteria. In order to improve our country's position in this rating, it is implementing important legislative and institutional reforms in the areas of regulating labour relations, strengthening equality principles, labour protection and preventing forced labour.
Within the framework of “Business Ready”, issues such as the prohibition of child labour and forced labour, transparent and free conclusion of labour contracts, social insurance and safe working conditions are special assessment components, and Azerbaijan ensures compliance with international standards in these areas.
At the end of the events, relevant questions of the participants were answered. It should be noted that it is planned to continue relevant events until the end of the year.
