Today, at the Government, the National Programme for Decent Work for the period 2026–2030 was signed, with which the Government, employers' organizations and trade unions confirmed their shared commitment to improving labour market conditions, creating quality and better-paid jobs, and greater protection of workers' rights.
The programme was developed in cooperation with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the social partners, through tripartite consultations, and sets out shared priorities for addressing the key challenges of the labour market.
The programme covers the following priorities:
Improving the conditions for decent work through better labour legislation, strengthened social dialogue, safer and healthier workplaces, and sustainable enterprises.
Developing the skills for the jobs of the future by improving vocational education, training and lifelong learning, in line with labour market needs.
Greater economic empowerment of women through equal opportunities and removal of the barriers to equal participation in the labour market.
The programme also provides for strengthening labour market institutions, improving inspection oversight, advancing workers' rights, increasing productivity and reducing the informal economy.
The Federation of Trade Unions of Macedonia (SSM) is part of this shared effort for decent work, social justice and a better future for workers, and Ivan Peshevski, Vice President of SSM, was present at the signing.
Decent work is more than a job. It means workers' rights, equal opportunities, security, dignity and a better future for everyone.
