The hardest-working Albanians in Europe, but remain with the lowest wages

Albanians work longer hours compared to European Union countries, although they are paid less. According to data from Eurostat, a typical working week for people aged 20-64 in the EU is an average of 37.5 hours, while for Albanians it is about 43.7 hours per week.

Specifically, Albanians work one day more than EU countries or 6 hours more per week. Despite this fact, longer working hours in Albania do not translate into higher wages, as currently our country has the lowest level of average wages in the region and Europe, almost twice less than Serbia and Montenegro and significantly less than the European Union. This indicates a clear discrepancy between the hours, pay or even productivity of the workers.

Serbia is ranked directly after our country, while among EU countries, Greece has the highest percentage of workers with extended hours, about 11.6%, followed by Cyprus 10.4% and France 10.1%. Extended working hours in Greece are also associated with the highest unemployment rate, and thus the additional hours of active employees refer to the replacement of the labor shortage in the country. The Netherlands has the shortest working week at around 33.2 hours, followed by Germany at 35.3 and Denmark at 35.4 hours.

As Albania has the highest self-employed record in the region at a rate of 36%, long working hours are mainly related to the high level of self-employment and weekend work. The same applies to most European Union countries, where 29.3% of the self-employed worked long hours compared to the employed, who made up 3.6% of the total.

In Albania, the public administration is the one that works the least, with about 38.8 hours per week, while workers in the production and construction sectors work more. While in the EU, long working hours were more common among skilled agricultural, forestry and fishing workers at 27.5% and managers at 21.9%. All other groups of occupations, defined by the international standard classification of occupations, accounted for an average of up to 7.3% of the total number of workers working overtime.

With the aim of increasing productive employment and reducing the gap between wages and working hours, the wage reform has been launched since last year. From July this year, it is expected that the average salary in the public administration will reach 900 euros, while the salaries of pre-university teaching staff will increase by 38% to the value of 28,900 ALL, bringing the monthly salary from 75,900 ALL/month to 104,800 ALL/month. month. As for the white shirts, the average gross salary will be ALL 174,000/month.
