Promotion of Youth Employment in Moldova The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine have exacerbated the labour market situation for young people and particularly for women in the Republic of Moldova. As a result, many young people are unemployed and are not in education or training. This affects 159,000 people, the majority of whom are women, with nearly two thirds living in rural regions. At the same time, many companies are having difficulty finding skilled workers and filling vacancies. There is a high demand for staff in the IT, construction and energy sectors, in the manufacturing industry, and in retail and public administration. In many cases, short training courses or advisory services tailored to the target group would be sufficient to get the young people concerned into employment. Objective The National Employment Agency and its regional branches are able to provide young people with advice tailored to their target group, train them and place them in employment. |
