Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to understand the impact of the pandemic on the labour market in Kosovo, as well as the response of institutions to address the challenges produced by the pandemic. The research model was based on the quantitative approach and comparative study. Furthermore, this study focused on the official data about the impact of Covid-19 on the labour market in Kosovo and Government reactions, as well as comparing it with the best practices of European countries. The pandemic has had a significant impact on the labour market in Kosovo; Kosovo institutions have adopted an emergency package as well as the economic recovery package as a response to the challenges produced by the pandemic. The pandemic has had a significant impact on the labour market in Kosovo. The Government of Kosovo has drafted and approved two packages in order to support employment. However, the number of people who have benefited from these measures is small compared to the needs.
