Dávalos, María E.Cancho, César2015-08-182015-08-182015-05https://hdl.handle.net/10986/22474This note presents an overview of the Albanian labor market, and initial insights into the challenges for inclusive and better quality jobs. The note does not intend to be comprehensive, but rather aims at compiling – under an integrative jobs umbrella and the regional framework on jobs – some of the available data and evidence on the Albanian jobs challenge, part of which was prepared for the Albania Systematic Country Diagnostic of the World Bank. By employing the regional report’s framework, the note can guide the Government, development partners, civil society and other stakeholders in identifying the many knowledge gaps that remain for a comprehensive jobs agenda and the work needed towards completing the picture.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOLIVING STANDARDSJOBSEMPLOYMENTSOCIAL NORMSEMPLOYMENT RATEUNEMPLOYMENT RATESOPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALSWORKFORCEECONOMIC GROWTHUNPAID FAMILY WORKERSACCOUNTINGSALARIED WORKERSWAGE GAPYOUTH EMPLOYMENTMINIMUM WAGESPOUSEINCOMEFEWER WOMENEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESAGE GROUPINFORMATIONLABOR FORCEPOPULATION GROUPSDISCRIMINATIONJOBGENDER PARITYEFFECTSINCENTIVESTECHNICAL SKILLSEMPLOYMENT RATESSOCIAL BENEFITSLITERACY RATESLABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONVULNERABILITYPAID MATERNITYYOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT RATESAFETY NETSACCESS TO EDUCATIONJOB SEEKERSKNOWLEDGELABOR MARKETMATERNITY LEAVEECONOMIC SLOWDOWNGENDER GAPQUALITY OF EDUCATIONTRAININGEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTREGULATORY BARRIERSWORKERPRODUCTIVITYUNEMPLOYEDMIGRATIONTRANSFERSJOB LOSSOLDER WORKERSMARKETSHOUSEHOLD INCOMESOCIAL SECURITYSTANDARDSLABORPRIME AGETOTAL EMPLOYMENTMIGRANTSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTCHILD CAREFINANCEMINIMUM WAGESRESPECTPROGRESSEDUCATION SYSTEMSUNEMPLOYMENTEQUITYAVERAGE WAGESHUMAN CAPITALYOUNG MENWORKERSYOUNG WORKERSWAGESPOLICIESUNEMPLOYMENT RATELABOR DEMANDWOMANVALUEAVERAGE WAGEECONOMIC STATUSPENSIONSCLERKSMALE COUNTERPARTSSKILLED WORKFORCEOCCUPATIONSOCCUPATIONSAFETY NETLABOR MARKET INSTITUTIONSLABOR MARKET OUTCOMESEMPLOYMENT GROWTHJOB CREATIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYPRIVATE SECTOREARNINGDISCRIMINATORY PRACTICESCHILDBEARINGPOLICYFEMALE LITERACYPILOT PROJECTSMANAGEMENTSOCIAL CAPITALECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESLEVEL OF EDUCATIONSECURITYEMPLOYABILITYMALE WORKERILLNESSFINANCIAL MARKETSLABOR MARKET REGULATIONSYOUNG WOMENSUPPLYDISABILITYEMPLOYEEINNOVATIONPOPULATIONLABOR MARKET ADJUSTMENTSTUDENTSFAMILY RESPONSIBILITIESINFORMAL EMPLOYMENTUNSKILLED WORKERSUNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITSPRIMARY EDUCATIONHOUSEHOLD WORKWAGE EARNERWOMENYOUTH UNEMPLOYMENTLABOURREMITTANCESWELL-FUNCTIONING LABOR MARKETSLABOR MARKETSOUTCOMESLOW EMPLOYMENTSAFETYAGGREGATE EMPLOYMENTSECONDARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATIONHIGHER-EDUCATED WORKERSWAGE EMPLOYMENTLABOR REGULATIONSPRICESLABOR MARKET INFORMATIONGENDER EQUALITYEMPLOYEESReportWorld Bank10.1596/22474
