Abstract
According to ILO forecasts, in 2022 the number of the world's
unemployed will rise to 207 million, by 21 million more than in pre-pandemic
2019. Unemployment leads to mass poverty, reduces wages, and threatens
social and political stability. In the article are analyzed the main trends in
unemployment in the country as a whole and by gender and area. In recent
years, the Republic of Moldova has seen a decline in official unemployment.
The employment assistance and unemployment insurance in the country are
analysed. Also, the article analyzes the recruitment of refugees from Ukraine
to the Moldovan labor market, as 89,185 Ukrainian citizens remain in the
country today, of which 45,000 are children, and according to the National
Employment Agency, 355 Ukrainian citizens have found work and are
working in our country, which is less than 1%: 278 women and 77 men. It is
described a new government initiative like training vouchers for the
unemployed, i.e. the unemployed in the Republic of Moldova will be able to
choose a vocational training course based on the voucher system.
