FT, reportage by Bajram Curri: Men are leaving Albania en masse, women are
FT, report by Bajram Curri

The British journalist of the Financial Times, Camilla Bell Davies, has carried out a report from the city of Bajram Curri.

"Of the 12,310 Albanians who came by raft to Britain in 2022, most of them were from this city," she begins her article.

Although tourism has brought a new surge, living costs and unemployment are high and most of them flee out of boredom and a sense of desperation, she writes, but the departure of men has opened up new opportunities for women.

Left behind, they are already taking on the burden of living, as the men involved in the boat traffic networks do not send money for months because they have debts to pay.

Camilla, in her reportage, gives the story of women entrepreneurs. According to her, many of them provide bread with the skills they have to clean, knit or do housework or run a shop.

A character in the reportage told the reporter that while women become housewives, men stay in bars drinking brandy, often feeling powerless.

Women, in addition to being housewives, are learning new skills from the freedom gained. Gerta, one of the characters of the reportage, has opened her own shop and runs a website. She has learned technology skills and will be going to university next year.

Lida, another woman who owns a handmade jewelry shop, no longer asks permission from her husband, who is in Belgium, if she wants to go out, English writer Camilla continues the description.

But for every success story, there is a dramatic one behind it. Many mothers have to work to pay off the debts of their runaway children.

But the broad panorama is full of positive roles. Moms are already focusing on educating their daughters, with the boys out.

Camilla also brings two interesting facts. In 2021, 71 percent of those enrolled in universities in Albania were women, up from 58 percent a decade ago. Meanwhile, male participation in the labor force has steadily declined over the past 30 years.
