II. Social results of entrance to WTO

The document must analyze feasible impact of entrance to WTO upon social indicators of

national development, dynamic of profits in the most vulnerable fields and sectors, living level of

population, positions of poor categories of population.

The studies on social results must give answers to the following questions:

1) how new foreign trade conditions may affect economic dynamic;

2) whether efficient markets disappear;

3) how reformation may touch upon types of activity where poor categories of population

concentrate;

4) how reform may affect some regions in Azerbaijan;

5) how Azerbaijan's entrance to WTO can change profits and employment in the national

sectors, particularly agrarian sector;

6) how Azerbaijan's entrance to WTO can create new jobs.

We have to study experience of China which developed CGE model to assess impact of

foreign trade on economic and social situation in the country. This model will allow to estimate

co-efficient of tariff elasticity on vulnerable fields (elastic employment and salary due to tariffs).

is also necessary to work out forecast on dynamic of unemployment with respect to membership
