  Identifying the causes of long-term unemployment among older women in Serbia and North Macedonia

  Project sponsor:: International Visegrad Fund

• Women over 50 are recognized as a hard-to-place category in the employment policy framework of Serbia and North Macedonia, which enables them to participate in active labour market measures. Due to precarious employment and longer periods of previous unemployment, they have little chance of re-employment, which discourages them and increases their vulnerability. The aim of this project is to find out what prevents women over 50 from finding a job on the local labour market in the Belgrade and Skopje regions. Based on the experiences in Slovakia and Poland, a set of tools will be developed to assess their employability to better respond to existing employment opportunities.
