HIGHER EDUCATION AND THE GRADUATE LABOUR MARKET OPPORTUNITIES IN WESTERN BALKANS

This project was supported by the European Commission, while the study for Montenegro was prepared by ISSP and LSE. The main aim of the project was mapping the type, level and quantity of degrees issued by higher education institutions in the Western Balkans, identifying student success rates in completing their education and in job search, and the challenges they face. The study covered analysis of the job market opportunities, the recent labour market developments, and identify the most dynamic sectors and industries and those that will likely be drivers of employment in the future. It included two large-scale surveys: one among recent HE graduates  and one among organisations that employ HE graduates. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with management staff of higher education institutions (HEIs), ministries, employers’ associations, and trade unions.  The project has assembled a unique database that covers details of most study programmes offered by HEIs in the Western Balkan country in recent years.
