| Summary: | This note provides a brief, updated
analysis of jobs dynamics in Albania, providing insights
into where constraints to improving jobs outcomes remain and
opportunities for addressing such challenges. Results-based
policy making requires timely information to identify
problems, design potential solutions, and evaluate policy
initiatives. Using the most recent data available on
Albanian labor markets from the perspectives of labor demand
(firms) and labor supply (individuals), this note provides
some key insights into the current situation and important
dynamics over time and across firms and workers with
different characteristics. The note is complemented by two
other reports that look at (i) skills development challenges
from the demand (employer) side, and (ii) the role and
effectiveness of the National Employment Service (NES) in
reducing unemployment. This note and the aforementioned
reports will serve as inputs to a jobs framework and action
plan for the Republic of Albania. This note is divided into
three additional sections. Following the introduction, the
second section provides a profile of labor demand in
Albania, looking primarily at job creation and job
productivity. The third section presents a profile of labor
supply, specifically who is working, what types of jobs they
are employed in, and who is not working. The final section
concludes with an overall brief summary of the analysis and
questions to further guide the development of a jobs action plan. |
