| description |
The study includes an analysis of
inequality patterns in terms of labor force participation as
well as a review of policy responses, and areas for possible
further policy action. In particular, the report looks at
the two main dimensions of inequality that characterize
Macedonia’s labor market: gender and ethnicity. Almost half
the female working age population is inactive, whereas male
inactivity is considerably lower. Labor market outcomes also
vary significantly with ethnicity. In particular, a strong
interaction exists between gender and ethnicity, with ethnic
minority women forming a particularly vulnerable group.
Hence, it is worthwhile to investigate in more detail how
gender and ethnicity shape the Macedonian labor market, and
how public policy could be used to increase labor market
participation and job opportunities for women and ethnic
minorities. This report is organized as follows. First, the
report describes the main characteristics of the Macedonian
labor market, emphasizing the most important patterns of
inequality in terms of labor market participation (section
two). Section three addresses the possible causes of these
inequality patterns. Section four discusses potential policy
responses and concludes. |
