Albanian youths neither work nor school

Young people aged 15-24 in Albania who are not educated and do not work represent a quarter of the total, Koha Ditore writes today.

Even in Kosovo, the situation is the same, with the rate, as much as Albania places 25.9%.

This is said by a recent World Bank report on the labour market in Western Balkan countries, where Albania and Kosovo are presented at the top of the chart.

For other countries in the region, the rate is significantly lower, dropping by as much as 17% in Serbia's case. However, data shows that compared with 2013-2014, the rate of what is called “Nets” dropped significantly in Albania, as 5-6 years ago exceeded 30%. What is next in the report is the fact that female rates are higher, climbing to over 27%. For men, meanwhile, it's less than 25%.
