Abstract: The labor market in the Republic of Macedonia is characterized by a high and ongoing unemployment rate. Slow economic growth does not allow the creation of new vacancies nor the maintenance of a stable employment rate. Unemployment is considered the country's main economic problem. In 2016, the average rate of unemployment was 28%. Most of the unemployed belong to the population aged 25 to 49, which accounts for over 60% of the total number of unemployed. On the other hand, inflation is also considered a main concern for the economy of the country. Its consequences are less obvious than the consequences of unemployment, but they do bring about also significant losses to the country's economy, leading to the redistribution of wealth between different classes or strata of society, inefficient allocation of production resources as well as the devaluation of our currency. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship and impact of inflation and the economic growth in the unemployment of the Republic of Macedonia

Abstract: This paper is a continuation and development of the same authors paper which has been published recently. The presented paper pertains to the notion of quality of project team in traditional project management. A paradox is observed in the state of art of the project team quality in project management. All specialists recognize the exceptional importance of the parameter “quality” for the final result of the project. On the one hand, one can easily find definitions of project quality, quality of product of the project, quality of the project management processes, and so on. On the other hand, a huge number of bibliographical sources considers the project team functioning, as a sine qua non condition of the project success. The notion “project team quality” is quasi absent in the literature. In this paper an approach is proposed to fill in this gap, in the form of a proposal of the model, which defines the project team quality and allows to measure it. The main results of the previous paper of the authors, particularly guidelines for the quality model of the project team, are briefly presented. The paper presented here has a conceptual character. The main part of the paper are guidelines for the quality model of the project team: general assumptions, measure of the quality of team – classical and with use of fuzzy numbers, based on Myers-Briggs method and Belbin test, and finally, an impact of the quality of the project team on the team management is discussed. The objective of this paper is to show the possibility to define the project team quality process, which ensures not only the optimal level of the team quality, but also allows undertake valuable managerial decisions during the project life cycle.

Unfortunately, these various forms of Social Health Insurance Programme (SHIP) have witnessed inefficiencies in the supply of healthcare services and this is evidenced by observed adverse selection and supplier induced demands which are major causes of market failure in health insurance industry. Therefore, there is a need to deduce unique strategies to improve supply of health insurance so as to reduce the barest minimum the incidence of market failure which has impacted negatively on the health insurance industry. Methods: The study adopted qualitative approach by using in-depth interviews (IDIs) method. Nine (9) key informants were purposely sampled from three (3) purposively selected hospitals, one from each categorized type of facility. Content analysis was adopted and further analysis was achieved with the aid of Nvivo 11 software, which coded and categorized nodes into themes. Results: The interviewees relayed their experiences in the programme which includes provider non-adherence to accreditation pattern, poor reimbursement and tariff structure, fluctuations in prices of input, inadequate funding of the programme and low number of enrollees registered in private facilities and consequently proffered strategies on how to eliminate adverse selection and supplier induced demand with a resultant improvement in supply of health insurance services. Conclusions: Evidence from this qualitative study have shown various strategies if implemented will reduce the incidence of adverse selection and supplier induced demand which are mostly implicated as common causes of market failures.
