11th BBinar: Job quality and working conditions in the Western Balkans
The 11th BBinar will focus on job quality and working conditions in the six Western Balkan countries. The Foundation for the Advancement of Economics (FREN) in Serbia and the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research conducted a comparative analysis on job quality and working conditions and drew recommendations for their improvement in the region based on The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound)’s 2021 European Working Conditions Telephone Survey (EWCTS), which for the first time included the six Western Balkan countries. In this BBinar we present the findings of the report published by Eurofound on the results of the comparative analysis, specifically on (1) Labour markets and working population in the Western Balkans, (2) job quality in the Western Balkans, (3) quality of the working life and (4) gender equality snapshot.
