Salaries in the Republic of Moldova remain very low, study

The macroeconomic situation in the country, although more stable in the last two years, still hides more problems, shows the study: "The situation of employees in the Republic of Moldova: a structural crisis", presented by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Moldova Foundation (FES) in collaboration with Syndex from Romania, reports Radio Moldova.

In the Republic of Moldova, which is a small country, the economic discrepancies between different districts and the capital are very large, said Stefan Goga, the main consultant of the company that carried out the study.

“We have a very strong economy dependent on the money that comes from abroad. We have an economy that is very dependent on agriculture and this dependency is growing. If we talk at the level of Chisinau and the other regions of the country, we have some absolutely huge gaps. Investors coming to countries like the Republic of Moldova are interested in the very low cost of working force,” said Stefan Goga.

One problem for the labor market in the Republic of Moldova is the fact that many people go abroad, most often they are highly qualified young people, which is one of the problems affecting the country's economy.

TRM.MD recalls that the study presents an overview of the last few years, with reference to the economic development of the Republic of Moldova. According to the study, even though the wages have increased in the last three to four years by about 10%, however, the minimum and average wage in the country is the lowest in Europe.
