Currently, 50% of the rural population lives in rural areas below the poverty line. Among the urban population, this figure is 10% lower and averages 40%. The average monthly salary in agricultural organizations is the lowest among other sectors of the economy. As for unemployment in rural areas, it is quite high due to the reduction of enterprises in rural areas.
