GENDER DIFFERENCES IN EMPLOYMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

Abstract

The Republic of Macedonia, similar to almost all ex-yugoslav and ex-socialist societies has been faced with many internal challenges, unemployment being one of the main focuses of all economic policies. Although the Republic of Macedonia has been implementing inclusive employment policies, in practice it can be argued that the level of unemployment of the female population has been decreasing relatively slowly compared to that of the male population. Therefore, this paper strives to provide insides as to gender differences in employment in the Republic of Macedonia.
