Labour Economics: A Text for the Western Balkans

Zulfiu Alili, Merita; Nikoloski, Dimitar; Adnett, Nick

This book examines the economic trends and challenges seen within the Western Balkan labour market. It provides a foundation to labour economics in the region, with a particular focus on employment, unemployment, and wages. Empirical case studies allow theories of wage determination and labour demand to be applied to the specific conditions seen in the Western Balkans. By also exploring education, human capital investments, labour market discrimination, the welfare system, workforce mobility, and the determinants of unemployment, a complete understanding of the dynamics defining labour economics in the Western Balkans is presented.

This book offers unique insight into the variables that shape the labour market, as well as the policies that can maximise employment and economic growth. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in labour economics.
