abstract: 'The Republic of Macedonia has since its independence made great progress
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in terms of economic reform and social development; prompted often by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the county''s aspiration to become part of the European Union. However,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in spite of these advances, weak labour market indicators in particular
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among females remains a great concern and a persisting challenge for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
country. Based on official data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conducted by the State Statistical Office (SSO) for the case of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Republic of Macedonia, the aim of this study is to examine the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development of female unemployment in the past decade (2004-2013) in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Republic of Macedonia from a multi-dimensional perspective. This while
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comparing national trends with other Balkan countries already in the EU
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
using LFS data provided by Eurostat. Findings show that the female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployment rate in the R. Macedonia is moving in the right direction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with a decreasing trend throughout the observed period with drop of 8.8
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
percent point from 2004 to 2013 (observed at 29\% in 2013). Compared to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Balkan countries in the EU, findings show that the R. Macedonia has been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
performing relatively better than these countries, who have all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experienced negative fluctuations in female unemployment rates in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
observed period with rates at higher levels compared to 2004.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, the findings show no evidence of inequality between male
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and female unemployment rates in the country, however notable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disparities are evident when observing unemployment among various age
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups and the level of education attainment. The paper concludes with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
clear policy recommendations for boosting female employment to include
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increasing female access to education and entrepreneurial programs,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increased access to childcare, etc.'
