There are unemployed, but not workers / Business shortage of labor force! Experts: Increase salaries

For employment experts businesses have only one alternative to solve this essential problem.

“Businesses need to increase wages to keep workers and create conditions for them. “And I’m not talking about low growth, but something that is satisfying and appealing to people.”

These are moments when the employee has the most important role in the market. It will take several more years for a new balance between supply and demand to be reached. “The time has come for employers to realize that people are the most important aspect of their business.”

The problem of labor shortages has been pushed to this point by several factors.

“There are several factors to this. The first is that we have internal and external demand for workers. Companies have developed and want to increase their workforce, while we also have demand from abroad. There are people who work for foreign companies from Albania, while we also have seasonal workers who flee to border countries. The second is immigration and the third is population aging“, Said the expert Erald Pashaj.

Our labor market has other characteristics as well, while a considerable group of people who do not work comes as a result of social consequences.

“It is a group who are categorized as long-term unemployed. They have not entered the labor market for a year and it is a considerable group. “It mainly consists of housewives, who do not work due to their mentality, especially in rural areas.” he added.

Beyond all factors, immigration is the disease that is rapidly depleting the workforce. In official statistics there are 400 thousand people who have emigrated in the last decade, almost 40 thousand individuals a year.

This amount is alarming for a population of 2.9 million, while a projection conducted by The Economist last year shows that the downward trend will continue.
