Their task is to guide former officers in their search of employment.

Let me start by saying that if New Zealand is to compete globally in the future, I profoundly believe that we need to succeed socially. In the years ahead, the international labour market is going to become increasingly competitive because of population ageing and because the global workforce continues to be more mobile. A key challenge for New Zealand – and this is the case for many other OECD countries – will be to retain and attract the best skills and the best talent. We need to be thinking now about the best ways and means of ensuring that New Zealand is seen as one of the best places to work and live, and simply enjoy life.

Another issue of the magazine Problems of Management in 21st century has found its way into your hands. We often hear people saying that human resources are the most important and most valuable source in an organization. Is it really true or is it just another buzzword? Our magazine deals with the issues of human resources in the context of various possible views and approaches. As a result of the growing internationalism and globalization of the labour market but also as a result of dynamic changes in the society in general the concept of diversity management is ever more important. The basis of the concept of diversity management is the nature of diversity itself and this phenomenon has always existed in the human society, be it age, gender, race, ethnicity, mental and physical abilities, sex orientation or any other qualities (Hubbard, 2004, Eger, 2009). It is necessary to realize that the topics connected with diversity exist today and will exist in the future and if any organization strives to survive in the highly competitive surroundings, it has to deal with issues like that.

Azerbaijan has a population of more than 10 million, of which women accounted for 50% in 2020. At the same time, 93% of Azerbaijan’s citizens describe themselves as Muslims. Since the beginning of independence, Azerbaijan has been a secular state by virtue of Article 48 of the Constitution, which guarantees the freedom of worship, choice, or nonpractice of religion and the freedom of expression of one’s own views on religion. This article aims to assess the changes in the self-employment of women in Azerbaijan through a deductive analysis of data and observation of changes in the structure of resources based on generally available macroeconomic data. This study focuses on the situation of women on the Azerbaijani labour market over the two decades of the 21st century. The numbers of economically active women, including those in employment and the unemployed, and economically inactive women are specified. Further, the government’s legal and financial policy in respect of women’s self-employment is analysed. The author determines what percentage of companies were set up by women and in which sectors and locations.

A paradox is a term that can be used to describe an economic climate where there are many unemployed persons and yet still a large influx of temporary foreign workers? This is the labour dynamics currently existing in Canada; growing numbers of unemployed persons in provinces where simultaneously thousands of temporary foreign workers are entering the labour market to fill job vacancies. Some researchers have rationalized that this phenomenon is caused by a skills mismatch – the imbalance between the skills employees possess and those skills required to perform a particular task or role in a job (Lundberg, 2007).
