Azerbaijan
Although the official unemployment rate for Azerbaijan is 1%, this statistic does not take into account more than 500,000 people who have been internally displaced during the Nagorno-Karabakh War with Armenia from 1988-1994. Azerbaijan is also a destination for external refugees. From other conflicts in the region, there are an estimated 9,000 Chechens displaced in Azerbaijan who do not share the same employment and educational opportunities as most Azerbaijanis. Many locals and refugees are not given equal access to basic healthcare.
