Periskopi(7 years ago)
(7 years ago)The Kosovo Statistics Agency (ASK) yesterday published the results of this year's First quarter Workers Power Survey. From this it turns out that of the working age population, 61.3 % are not economically active, which means they are not employed and have not been active in seeking employment [...]
Iron Murati says that the official unemployment rate of 27 percent, published by the AK is unrealistic and that there were no new job openings.
This time the report revealed that real unemployment in able persons is about 60%. But for the fact that only 38% of unemployed are considered active, then the official unemployment rate of 27% is by no means real.
According to him, lowering unemployment according to this report could be the result of young people leaving Kosovo, not why the Government did something concrete in this direction.
The alleged seating may be the result of young people leaving, not as a direct result of any new job creation policy. To support this claim, the prime minister would have to show in which sectors, and as a result of which concrete policy has created those jobs, Murati has said.
Murati points out that real unemployment in the country is at least 50 percent, while the people are surviving diaspora remittances.
Real unemployment is at least 50%, and the only way the population manages to survive is because of the remittances that send out the diaspora, Murati adds.
Ramush Haradinaj yesterday wrote on Facebook that Kosovo Statistics Agency data Show that the unemployment rate in Kosovo has decreased, calling it good news for citizens.
“Based on official data from the Kosovo Statistics Agency, the unemployment rate in Kosovo, has dropped to 26.9 %, for January, March 2019 compared to the October period December 2018, which was 31.6%. These statistics show another fact that the reduction in unemployment occurred in 15-54-year-old groups. Out of 57.3 % of the unemployed from this age group -- the first quarter of 2019 -- shows a reduction of 7%, namely 50.6 percent” -- has written Haradinaj on Facebook.
Haradinaj says these statistics, “, are good news for all our citizens and evidence of internal economic development, though for the country's government, remain a constant concern for the unemployment rate in the country”.
