"Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan and his ministry continue to spread unreliable data based on an unreliable source. On June 18, the RA Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan touched upon the statement made at the special session of the RA Standing Committee on Economic Affairs on June 16 that the average salary in Armenia is higher than the average salary of the world. However, the study of FIP.am showed that the minister's claim is not a factual basis, not based on official statistical data, then it does not correspond to reality.
On June 18, he wrote:
"According to Numbeo 125 countries, pure salary in Armenia is more than 49. PS: I perform this post in response to a website that was questioned yesterday that the average salary in Armenia is above average. "On January 30, the minister would again say: "The" tested facts "of the website called FIP.am are sometimes not very tested. The website insisted on my announcement that Armenia's average salary is above average than average. Please, here is the evidence. " He attached a screenshot made from Numbeo's website as evidence, where the average monthly salary of 126 countries is provided without taxes.
According to the list, Armenia ranks 75th in the previous year, taking basis of the "Factivity Verification" in our previous article, given the list of Armenia's average salary. By dividing this amount to 126, the average monthly salary of countries included in this list is significantly lower than the average monthly salary ($ 610).
But most importantly, the Minister of Economy is based on a source that has no reliability. FIP.am previously touched upon this source several times and found that Numbeo did not have a reliable platform. The rated ratings are not based solely on official statistical data. They are made up of the support of users. The data published on the site do not pass double check, and there is no published methodology on what the calculations are based on.
Numbeo was founded in 2009 on the initiative of Serbia, Mladen Adamovic, and allows users to provide information and compare other information on living in different countries of the world. Numbeo's data often appeared in the center of criticism, and the platform was never considered reliable, statistical data or conclusions.
Thus, the "Fact Inspection Platform" confirms once again that Gevorg Papoyan's statement is unfounded. "
