Depopulation, Meta Gathers Experts: The Situation Has Worsened

President Ilir Meta has held a meeting with professors and experts to discuss the causes of the deteriorating depopulation situation in the country.

Meta said that the lack of increase in salaries and pensions, lack of quality education and lack of support for business are some of the reasons that stimulate this phenomenon.

"Some of the reasons that stimulate the phenomenon of depopulation are:

The steady rise in wages and pensions, but simply their indexation, has made the cost of living difficult for many families in the country.

Lack of support for quality education of young people.

Lack of proper business support.

The situation in our country has deteriorated significantly especially in terms of lack of business support to cover the additional costs of the pandemic.

According to the Bank of Albania, at least 50,000 citizens have lost their jobs during the pandemic. The lack of support for these businesses is undoubtedly a serious threat to further increase the rate of emigration," said the head of state.
