Western Balkans countries need to employ more women in better paying jobs
The World Bank announced that Gelder said at the event named “Unleashing Economic Growth Potential in the Western Balkans - Improving Equity and Gender Equality in Access to Economic Opportunities” that “the importance of increasing access to opportunities for women in the Western Balkans is critical for growth, development, and EU accession”.
Estimates show that up to 18 percent of regional GDP is lost due to gender gaps in the labor market, the press release says.
Girls and women in the Western Balkans, although better educated than before, still do not participate equally in the labor market and, when they do, are more likely to be employed in low-skilled and low-paying jobs, warned the speakers at the Vienna gathering.
