Many workers who left to work in EU countries are considering the possibility of returning, as life in the EU has become expensive and insecure, assessed labor market expert Dominik Raškaj.
“The EU is not what it was 30 years ago. Today, a family of four cannot survive in the EU on less than €4,000 per month. You have to work at least two additional jobs,” Raškaj said in a new episode of the SRNA podcast.
He believes that Republika Srpska is facing a shortage of skilled and practically trained labor, while young people are increasingly seeking a better balance between work and private life.
“The education system must provide more practical training. Schools and companies need to be much more closely connected,” Raškaj said, pointing to the positive results of retraining programs implemented by the Chamber of Commerce of Republika Srpska.
He also assessed that agriculture represents a major opportunity for Republika Srpska and that the country should build economic ties with other markets.
“Agriculture is the key to survival,” Raškaj concluded.
