At the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021, the Federation Employment
Service, the Employment Service of Republika Srpska and the Employment
Service of the Brčko District of BiH conducted labour market research using
a mutually agreed methodology, including a survey questionnaire. The aim
of the research is to look at the current situation in terms of the challenges
that employers faced in 2020, and to examine the demands of the labour
market for workers in 2021. After individual research was conducted and
results were presented by entity and Brčko District Employment Services,
a consolidated report was created to show the data at the level of Bosnia
and Herzegovina. In this context, this report relies on the consolidated report,
but thematically it deals with the questions concerning women in the
labour market in Bosnia and Herzegovina. All employment services used a
stratified sampling approach, with activity (sector) and size of the enterprise
as the key stratification variables. A total of 2,429 employers at the level of
Bosnia and Herzegovina were surveyed. Small enterprises prevail in the
sample (78.34%), which actually reflects the actual situation of the economy.
Medium enterprises make up 15.89% and big enterprises make up 5.76% of
the sample.
