Andorra is experiencing economic shifts characterized by rising wages and labor challenges. While the average monthly salary reached 2,760.46 euros in May—a 7.7 percent increase from the previous year—the country faces significant labor shortages across sectors such as healthcare, education, and tourism.

To mitigate these shortages, the government has adjusted immigration quotas, approving additional permits for deficit occupations despite a reduction in the general quota to 800 permits. 

Within specific public sectors, such as the Comella prison service, restructuring of supplements has led to a 16% gender pay gap that was not present in 2018. However, overall salaries for prison agents have increased by 33% since 2018. The service is also preparing for a generational shift, with eight retirements anticipated over the next five years.
