Abstract

The labor market in the Republic of Macedonia is characterized by a high and ongoing unemployment rate. Slow economic growth does not allow the creation of new vacancies nor the maintenance of a stable employment rate. Unemployment is considered the country's main economic problem. In 2016, the average rate of unemployment was 28%. Most of the unemployed belong to the population aged 25 to 49, which accounts for over 60% of the total number of unemployed. On the other hand, inflation is also considered a main concern for the economy of the country. Its consequences are less obvious than the consequences of unemployment, but they do bring about also significant losses to the country's economy, leading to the redistribution of wealth between different classes or strata of society, inefficient allocation of production resources as well as the devaluation of our currency. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship and impact of inflation and the economic growth in the unemployment of the Republic of Macedonia
