Summary/Abstract: The labor market in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is facing mounting challenges. Unemployment is continuously high and employment low. Factors such as the wartime destruction of industrial infrastructure, loss of business links due to the dissolution of Yugoslavia, inadequate adaptation to the new business and technological environment, failed privatization processes, and a generally unfavorable macroeconomic climate have had a negative impact on creating new jobs. In addition, the almost daily protests by workers owed salaries or benefits by their employers indicate grave weaknesses in the system of social security and protection of workers’ rights.
