The main work of the population of the Gegharqounik region is
agriculture, small and medium business, fishing, service in the
tourism field, state and social service and work abroad.
According to statistics, the majority of the population engages
in agriculture. There are more than 42 thousand major agricultural
economies in the region. The rest struggles hard against poverty.
Another way of combating poverty is work abroad.
At present 32 000 people from the region are working abroad. Their
age ranges between 22 and 55. According to the investigations of the
Gegharqounik regional agency of the strategy national service, this
phenomenon is conditioned by the absence of jobs and low profitability
of agriculture.
