Tirana has the highest level of laziness compared to other cities.
42% of the residents of the capital are not in a working relationship, but they are not looking for employment either.
The report published by the Institute of Statistics, which analyzed the last 3 months of 2022, shows that the capital is ranked for the first time at the top of the list for the inactive population, leaving behind Lezha, a city that for many years was the first, as Euronews reports.
Then comes Dibra and Vlora, which also have the highest percentage of the population not active in the labor market with over 40%.
On the other hand, Berat, Korça and Elbasan have the lowest levels of the population not active in the labor market.
Across the country, the inactive population at the end of 2022 was about 860 thousand people according to INSTAT, including all people who are not classified as employed or unemployed.
Inactive people, or out of the labor force, are people who are not working, nor looking for or wanting work because they are continuing school, retired or disabled, may be fulfilling household duties, or are not looking for work because they believe that they cannot find it.
