Labor market problems, starting with labor shortages, low wages, and informality, have become among the main concerns of the economy. This is clearly evident in the place they occupy in the electoral programs of the political parties competing for the May 11 elections.
Lack of workers; the depreciation of the euro; rising raw material costs; informality and corruption are the main problems facing businesses in Albania, which is also the main employer.
In response, political parties promise in their electoral programs solutions to all these problems and the guarantee of a calm and encouraging climate for business.
Increasing the minimum wage to 500 euros; increasing the average wage to 1,300 euros; fighting corruption and digitizing public services are just some of the common promises in the opposition and majority programs.
Meanwhile, until the elections are over and the promises are fulfilled, if that ever happens, business is filling the gaps in the production cycle and daily activity with workers from abroad.
The countries from where we are importing labor are Bangladesh, the Philippines, India, and Uganda.
In recent days, the government has submitted to the Assembly for approval the draft law on foreigners, through which it aims to facilitate the attraction of labor from abroad, especially on the eve of the start of the tourist season. (A2 Televizion)
