This is the new publication from the Musine Kokalari Institute for Social Policy, which we presented on Wednesday, with author Edison Jakurti and co-discussor Prof. Dragan Tevdovski from North Macedonia.<\/p>\n\n
The publication provides a calculation of the living wage in Kosovo, shedding light on the gap between current wages and the basic cost for a decent standard of living. The study serves as a resource for policymakers and stakeholders, addressing poverty concerns and advocating for fair compensation for workers.<\/p>\n\n
We will publish the paper next week on all our platforms. Follow us to learn:<\/p>\n\n
What exactly constitutes a living wage in Kosovo?<\/p>\n\n
How does it differ from the minimum wage?<\/p>\n\n
Why is this concept vital to guaranteeing human dignity and economic justice in our society?<\/p>\n\n
