With Western Balkans economies showing an increased need for a foreign workforce and having in mind the recent legal changes that facilitate the easier employment of foreigners, this conference foresees to highlight the situation of asylum seekers who are already in the region.
The conference aims to initiate a dialogue on the economic potential and challenges of enhancing their access to the labour market and formal employment opportunities. It will bring together representatives from the public and private sectors, international organizations, and civil society to examine the current situation, labour market needs, legal frameworks, and effective strategies for improving integration and economic contribution.
