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.
