Armenia is going to raise the minimum wage by 25 percent in 2017-2022, as per the officially published program of the Armenian Governments, whose discussion will soon be held in the parliament.

It is planned to reduce the poverty level by 12 percentage points (now it amounts to about 30 percent in Armenia).

The first program of Armenian PM Karen Karapetyan published in October 2016 mentioned no target indexes on labor payment and poverty reduction.
