Abstract
Macedonia as a less developed post-transition country during the past decade has marked a moderate
growing economic performance coupled with high and sustained unemployment. In this context, fostering FDI has
been promoted by the Macedonian government as one of the main instruments for tackling unemployment and
providing further economic development. On the other hand, attracting the FDI has been criticised as a reason for
government’s engagement in a race to the bottom deregulation and worsening labour standards. Despite its
relevance, the assessment of these policies effectiveness including the FDI effects on employment in Macedonia has
received little attention by researchers and policymakers. Having in mind the above considerations, the aim of this
paper is to assess the impact of FDI on the labour market outcomes in the manufacturing sector. For this purpose, we
will attempt to identify the determinants of employment in the manufacturing sector in Macedonia by paying attention to the role of FDI inflows. The results from the analyses are used for deriving conclusions and formulating
policy measures in order to reshape the role of FDI in the manufacturing sector.
