How to read this table
The table rows divide the unemployed into two categories: those registered with employment services and those who do not apply to these agencies. This approach helps to show the difference between registered and actual unemployment. Comparing these groups annually from 2010 to 2024 provides an understanding of what proportion of people who lost their jobs attempt to find new ones through public services. The data covers the entire country and includes information on individual CIS countries, such as Azerbaijan
What is visible in these numbers
