Cross-Sectoral Youth Assessment: North Macedonia

This Cross-Sectoral Youth Assessment (CSYA) was conducted in order to understand the drivers of youth out-migration and potential incentives to stay or return.  The views of young people, age 15-29 are drawn from a national survey and conversations with some 1042 young people, carried out during March-June, 2019. Ethnic minorities, LBGTI, and young people with disabilities were given special attention. A sample of 100 households in which young people had recently already left the country was also included to explore reasons and consequences. The views of educators, politicians, government, academics, and international partners help to contextualize the findings.
