In Albania, almost half of the employees work without pay in the family business, but a large category of employees received monthly wages below the poverty line in 2021.
The International Labor Organization (ILO) in the publication on wages at the poverty level verified that almost 17 percent of employees in Albania are paid in the range of 3.2-5.5 USD per day.
Albania was ranked 62nd among 117 countries in the world for the level of working poverty. Also, our country counts about 2 percent of employees who receive from 1.9 to 3.2 dollars a day.
Data from the international institution that deals with employment indicators show that, in 2021, a total of 19 percent of employees in the country are paid less than 5.5 USD per day or about 130 USD per month.
Usually the categories of workers in poverty work in the agriculture and service sectors. Their work is concentrated in the seasons and with very low wages.
Although this category of workers is counted as employed, their income from work is below the relative poverty line of USD 5.5 per day.

Megjithëse kjo kategori punonjësish numërohet si e punësuar, të ardhurat e tyre nga puna janë nën kufirin e varfërisë relative 5.5 USD në ditë.
Teksa varfëria në botën e zhvilluar shpesh shoqërohet me papunësinë, varfëria ekstreme që ekziston në pjesën më të madhe të botës në zhvillim është kryesisht një problem i personave të punësuar në këto shoqëri. Për këta punëtorë të varfër, problemi është zakonisht ai i cilësisë së punësimit, shpjegon ILO.
Prandaj, ulja e varfërisë në përputhje me Objektivat e Zhvillimit të Qëndrueshëm kërkon rritjen e mundësive të punësimit dhe të të ardhurave të të varfërve që punojnë, atyre njerëzve që janë të punësuar, por nuk janë në gjendje të ngrenë veten dhe familjet e tyre mbi pragun e varfërisë.
Due to the structure of the economy, work in our country has a low value. According to national statistics, almost half of the employees in our country are paid at the minimum wage level. This happens since about 40 percent of the employed are in the agricultural sector, which has very low earnings from work.
Wages in Albania have grown at low rates over the past decade, while they are characterized by high informality. In addition to thousands of people working in total informality, partial declaration of salary for tax purposes is a widespread phenomenon in our country. /Monitor
