Moldova labor market and employment initiatives

Overview

Moldova is addressing labor market challenges through various state and private initiatives. National discussions in Chișinău have highlighted an acute lack of personnel, with the National Employment Agency (ANOFM) reporting 34,691 job vacancies during the first eight months of 2026.

To combat these shortages, the government is offering subsidies that cover up to 80% of salaries for hiring unemployed individuals, alongside professional training and mobility support. Efforts to improve the workforce also include occupational health and safety seminars to clarify employer responsibilities and accident prevention.

Specific training programs have also emerged, such as an accredited 390-hour professional training program for home caregivers offered by the CASMED Public Association, which targets unemployed women aged 55 and older.
