market equilibrium wage, the market
works as normal
• Effects occur when the minimum wage is
set above the equilibrium market wage
rate, this results to unemployment.

Summary
 Albania is a post-communist country facing a big problem of unemployment
 The economy of the country is not stable leading to economic problems such as
inflation and unemployment
 By rising the minimum wage in March 2017, the government wants to increase
the income of low income earners
 Unemployment will occur affecting the same category of people – Low income
earners
 Unemployment will have a negative impact to the unemployed, society and the
government
 We think raising the minimum wage is fair but then the Government of Albania
should make long-term strategies to solve the problem of unemployment
Thank you!
