The government's decisions on increasing the minimum wage and doubling it for the top management levels affected respectively the expansion of the category of employees with the minimum wage and those with the maximum wage in the total number of employees with insurance.
According to INSTAT data, of the total number of employees who pay social insurance, 30.6 percent of them have salaries up to the minimum level of 40,000 ALL.
This category increased by 7.6 percentage points compared to the previous year. This happened due to the change in the limits of the minimum wage, which was increased in April 2023 to the level of 40,000 ALL from 340,000 ALL before.
In the first quarter, 21.6 percent of all female employees were paid up to the minimum wage of 340 ALL and 17 percent were in the 340-40 thousand ALL category.
The weight of employees with a salary of 40-50 thousand ALL in the total number of employees also increased at a higher rate than other categories. In the second quarter, 18.2% of employees with insurance were at this salary level, from 14% in the same period a year ago.
Rritja e ndjeshme u vu re në kategorinë e pagave të larta mbi 120 mijë lekë. Personat me nivele të larta ta pagave zunë 8.8 për qind të totalit te të punësuarve me një rritje gati 3 për qind në krahasim me të njëjtën periudhe të vitit 2022. Zgjerimi i kësaj kategorie erdhi si rrjedhojë e vendimeve të qeverisë për dyfishimin e pagave në funksionet e larta të administratës publike pas zgjedhjeve vendore.
Pavarësisht presioneve që po vijnë nga mungesa e fuqisë punëtore struktura e punësimit në vendin tonë dominohet nga personat që paguhen në pagën minimale.
Vendi ynë ka pagën minimale një nga më të ulëtat në Europë sipas të dhënave të krahasueshme nga Eurostat. Ky nivel në Shqipëri imponohet nga modeli ekonomik bazuar tek krahu i lirë i punës dhe në industri që kërkojnë intensitet punësimi të tilla si industria e përpunuese dhe bujqësia.
For decades, the country has been unable to integrate into high value chains and orient economic development based on skills. Low wages are the main driving factor for the high emigration of the labor force and mainly young people.
All surveys on emigration show that over 90 percent of emigrants decide to leave for economic reasons.
Emigration at high levels further endangers the development of the economy, since with an aging workforce and a deep lack of skills in the labor market, the country risks remaining in the vicious circle of an unproductive economy./MONITOR
