2.4.4. Social Security
The situation regarding social security or social provision and ICT differs from other fields. In all offices of Ministry of Labor and Social Protection in surveyed regions, modern generation computers had been installed. Due to pension reforms carried out via the support of the World Bank, the work on a database has been started. On average, each of these organizations has three computers, mainly Pentium. Some 62 percent of these offices have Internet access. These computers are being used primarily for office needs and typing. There are no local networks in these offices; however, local network projects that will unite them into a general network are being planned for the future.
