I have more than 15 years of work experience in international economics, migration, human capital and labour market. Over these years I have accumulated a wide work experience with a regional focus, not only in the Western Balkan countries, EU and EU-CEE, but also other EU neighbouring regions such as southern and Eastern neighbouring regions.

"Use it or lose it!" How do migration, human capital and the labour market interact in the Western Balkans?

Authors Isilda Mara, Michael Landesmann
Description
The six Western Balkan countries (hereafter ‘the WB6’) are quite well-researched in terms of migration, human capital and labour market issues. However, most studies have focused on one of these three individual topics rather than addressing them together, thus missing the skills-related interactions between these various fields. Aiming to understand the impact of migration on the skills pool and skill utilisation in the WB6, and the implications it may have for their future economic development, the ETF’s project ‘Migration and human capital in the Western Balkans’ brought together the three areas under an integrated analytical framework. This report is the last of a series of country studies (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo1, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia) and technical papers undertaken within the project during 2020–21. It is a regional assessment of the triangular relationships amongst migration, labour market dynamics and human capital development over the past decade, with cross-country comparisons.
