<abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This article evaluates the current state of the Macedonian labor market by analyzing employment trends, nominal labor productivity, wages dynamics and migration flows. Findings indicate that compared to other Balkan and Western European countries labor market development outcomes lag behind. North Macedonia has one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe and faces considerable challenges such as low labor force participation rate, decrease in working-age population as a result of emigration and low birth rates over the last three decades. In the current conditions improvements in productivity are pivotal for offsetting the negative effects of demographic challenges, supporting the stability of the labor market and boosting the overall output</p>

<trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В данной статье оценивается текущее состояние македонского рынка труда на основе анализа трендов занятости, номинальной производительности труда, динамики заработной платы и миграционных потоков. Результаты показывают, что что развитие рынка труда уступает показателям других балканских и западноевропейских стран. Северная Македония характеризуется одним из наиболее высоких уровней безработицы среди европейских государств и испытывает серьезные трудности, включая низкий уровень занятости населения, сокращение числа трудоспособных граждан вследствие эмиграции и низкого уровня рождаемости за последние три десятилетия. В текущих условиях повышение производительности труда имеет решающее значение для компенсации негативных последствий демографических проблем, поддержания стабильности рынка труда и повышения общего объема производства</p>
