The chronicle of an announced repeal? The Law on compulsory social contributions in the FYR of Macedonia

The ESPN Flash Reports are produced by the European Social Policy Network (ESPN) established in 2014 to provide the European Commission with independent information, analysis and expertise on social policies. The topics presented in the Flash Reports are identified by ESPN experts in the light of significant developments in their countries, or in some cases suggested by the Commission.

The ESPN is managed by LISER and APPLICA, with the support of OSE - European Social Observatory. For more information, please visit this website.
In August 2015, the Parliament of the FYR of Macedonia abolished the changes to the Law on compulsory social contributions, which had only been in force for seven months. Its express abolition was an expected consequence of a law adopted without wider public debate or evidence-based impact assessment.
