Republic of North Macedonia

With a permanent presence in North Macedonia since 2009, and assistance through the current Decent Work Country Program (DWCP), the ILO has been supporting the state institutions and social partners in the areas of employment, social dialogue, labour legislation, and application of international labour standards. The ILO is the only institutional partner to North Macedonia for the introduction and implementation of the Youth Guarantee.

The ILO is working on strengthening the role of social partners to become influential actors at national and local levels, by providing evidence-based analyses and policy positions, and offering new and modern services to their membership. For example, the Federation of Trade Unions of Macedonia (SSM) introduced a mobile application for reporting labour rights violations to trade unions and ultimately to the State Labour Inspectorate. Since its launch in early 2021, 23,555 workers received legal assistance and advice.

Macedonia has ratified 79 ILO Conventions (70 in force), including all ten fundamental Conventions. The ILO Committee of Experts has a number of requests concerning the application of ratified conventions.
