Unemployment in Macedonia is one of the gravest and most difficult economic, social and political problems, the main characteristics and possible solutions of which are presented in this paper. Overall, there are no 'quick fixes' for problems as severe as those being experienced in the Macedonian labour market. The major prerequisite for a sustained reform programme is that it should have broad support at the political level as well as in the wider population of the country.
Key words:  unemployment, labour market, Republic of Macedonia.

Nezaposlenost u Makedoniji je jedan od najtežih ekonomskih, socijalnih i političkih problema,čije karakteristike i moguća rešenja su prezentovana u ovom radu. Generalno, ne postoje "brza rešenja" za tako specifičan problem kakav je na tržištu radne snage u Makedoniji. Glavna polazna premisa za održivi program reforme je najšira podrška, kako na političkom, tako i na nivou sveukupne populacije.
