Abstract

In this scientific endeavour, the issue of active labour market policies (ALMPs) is addressed, as an essential element in increasing employment. ALMPs have been a concern for several researchers, with several aspects of them being addressed, as well as their impact on different workforce categories. In the case of long-term unemployment, the ALMPs come to financially and logistically support the respective persons for a faster integration into the labour market. At the national level, ALMPs have demonstrated their effectiveness and purpose pursued by government institutions in several countries. Starting from the content of ALMPs at the EU level, we analysed those services and measures that have been implemented for several years in the Republic of Moldova. In order to carry out the research, we performed an analysis of the annual statistical reports prepared by NEA from the Republic of Moldova. Indicators reflecting the content of ALMPs were identified from the annual statistical reports. Also, the dynamic analysis of the selected indicators allowed us to ascertain certain trends regarding the implementation of ALMPs in the Republic of Moldova.
