In recent years, unemployment and social inequalities have significantly increased in the Western Balkans affecting in particular the situation of young people.
Solidar, a European umbrella of social NGO’s, published an in-depth report in cooperation with FEPS on the social dimension of the EU enlargement in the Western Balkans with expert articles presenting an overview of the current challenges. In recent years, unemployment and social inequalities have significantly increased in the region affecting in particular the situation of young people and showing that the socio-economic dimension cannot be separated from the political one. The report presents interesting data on collective bargaining and on the functioning of tripartite and bipartite dialogue in the Western Balkans region.
