   The gender pay gap in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia

   11 May 2012

The paper provides an important overview of women’s employment in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in the last 15 years, and presents a picture of gender equality in today’s labour market through data and the review of literature.
