Figures, there is less work in the north! - Dhamo: The reason is emigration in

Albania is moving towards an increasingly pronounced division into two different employment realities.

According to data from Eurostat, about 17% of the population in the northern region of Albania has low work intensity.

Meanwhile, in the southern region this rate is recorded at only 8%.

A main factor influencing this phenomenon is the higher average age in the north. 

According to INSTAT, the employment rate in this region is 54%, while in the south it reaches 61%.

Also, the two main sectors of the Albanian economy, tourism and agriculture, which together contribute 50% to the economy according to the Bank of Albania, are more developed in the south, contributing to the highest level of employment in this area.
