I prepared this presentation together with my group members during the module of Economics policy. When the Government imposes some policies, they are sometimes contrary to the main focus of the policies. Introducing a minimum wage in March 2017 is meant to increase the spending power of young&low skilled employees of Albania. In practice only few will benefit because in the process the same category of people will face unemployed. Albania is a country with a high rate of unemployment, the increase in the minimum wage in March will worsen the problem in the short-run. Please go through the slides to read what we suggest should be done in the Long-run to combat the problem of unemployment in Albania.
