The employment of socially
vulnerable and excluded citizens still represent serious challenges in The Republic of North Macedonia. Unemployed people, especially the vulnerable, face
difficulties when looking for job. The situation of Roma people, especially
Roma women as long-term unemployed remain one of the most worrying factors
which prevents their full inclusion in society.
While there are improvements in employment and
inclusion rates of Roma, the unemployment rate is still high and almost twice
as higher compared to the national average. During employment, they face
institutional discrimination and unequal treatment, as well as discrimination
by the employers and clients on ethnic grounds. Also, Roma faces a series of
challenges including a low level of education and limited employment
opportunities, institutional shortcomings, discrimination on ethnic grounds
from clients and employers, culturological challenges – traditional norms and
values of Roma community, lack of information, and access to information about
opportunities.
