How will the labor market change after EU entry? - Hasalla: The sector needs European updates
As Albania aims to join the EU as soon as possible, one of the sectors that will face changes will be the labor market. In an interview with Scan TV, employment expert Gertjana Hasalla said that this market needs updates.
“Everything now needs updating, especially our digital skills to participate and be part of the labor market. We must be careful that the way the labor market functions in the European Union has changed, and it will change in Albania as well. If we aspire to become part of the European Union in 5 or 10 years, if not earlier, we will have to make sure that the European Union itself is working hard on the green economy. What does this mean? The Green Economy itself is all those jobs that are related to environmental protection but also to its conscious use.”
Hasalla continues to emphasize that the focus of employment should be directed towards the green economy, as well as the hybrid work format.
"So all environmental engineers, everything related to solar panels, and everything else related to environmental protection, are professions that will be increasingly in demand and if there is something that the European Union is doing a lot today, all the countries that are part of it, it is what is called remote work, or working with reduced hours in office premises. Very often, companies in the European Union are choosing to give their employees the opportunity to work two days in the office and three days to work at home, or in other premises. Meanwhile, there are other companies that also choose working days, which is 4 days a week, which is also an achievement that is still very early for Albania, but it is something that should probably be looked at in the future and in this time frame of 5-10 years there will definitely be the possibility for companies in Albania to start offering work with reduced hours in the office, or working 4 days a week."
According to expert Hasalla, this hybrid work format is not far off for Albania, as according to her, this is also the trend we are moving towards in terms of the labor market.
