  • Employment Report EN Corection 26.02.19
    CATRO BULGARIA | 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The current study presents an analysis of the current and future economic and labour market trends in Bulgaria in order to outline the potential opportunities for more eective and sustainable employment of refugees in the country. The research has been implemented in two phases – desk research of the most relevant reports, strategies, statisti- cal data and research papers about the socio-economic, demographic and labour market situation, as well as an overview of the current demographic, educational and employment development trends of the asylum seekers and beneficiaries of international protection in Bulgaria. The second phase focused on collecting and analysing qualitative information by relevant stakeholders such as governmental institutions, employers’ associations, trade unions, economic and labour market research institutes on the one hand, and a sample of medium-sized and large companies on the other hand, which represent some of the fastest developing economic sectors and cover 5 out of 6 geographic regions and economic hubs in Bulgaria. The main highlights of the analysis focus on the overall skills shortage and skills mismatch on the Bulgarian labour market across all economic sectors and geographic regions which already imply an obstacle for the further growth of the business in Bulgaria and might prevent some future investments. Against this background, potential opportuni- ties for refugee employment have been elaborated, and concrete measures and recom- mendations have been proposed aiming to support both refugees and employers in their eorts for sustainable employment which is beneficial for the further growth of the business and for the successful integration of beneficiaries of international protection in Bulgaria.
