When harmonizing the data from the last Census, and in relation to employment in the public sector in accordance with the principle of fair and adequate representation, which is carried out with the Methodology for planning employment in the public sector, the Ministry of Information Society and Administration for MIA says that the basis is taken considering the data obtained from the total number of registered persons.

MIA today requested an answer from the relevant Ministry after the announcement of "I want to say" that "according to the Methodology agreed by the Minister of Information Society and Administration Admirim Aliti, from now on 31,54 percent of Albanians will be employed in state institutions, although according to the figures from the last census , Albanians are 24,3 percent of the resident population".

"The Ministry of Information Society and Administration, as responsible for the Methodology for planning employment in the public sector in accordance with the principle of fair and adequate representation adopted in 2016, has not made any changes in the same document. On the contrary, it reconciled the data with the data from the Population Census conducted in 2021 by the State Statistics Office. The data in question is public and was obtained in an official manner. During this reconciliation of the data, the data obtained from the total number of enumerated persons is taken into account as a basis", the answer from MIOA states whether the tool "Balancer" uses the data only from the resident population or takes into account both resident and non-resident.

An announcement was made on the MIOA website on August 5 that a change was made in the "Balancer" web tool according to the results of the 2021 Census.

"Taking into account the connection between the results of the 2021 Census of Population, Households and Housing in the Republic of North Macedonia with the provisions of the Law on Public Sector Employees, the Ministry of Information Society and Administration informs you that a change has been made in the web tool "Balancer" according to the results of the census conducted in 2021. When preparing the annual plans and the electronic distribution of the number of planned new hires by community affiliation for 2022, the data from the last census of the population of the Republic of North Macedonia for the territory of the entire Republic of North Macedonia for the institutions that were founded will be taken as a basis by the central government, i.e. the data from the last census of the population of the Republic of North Macedonia for the units of the local self-government in which that institution is located", the announcement states.

In it, MIOA also stated that the Law on Employees in the Public Sector, which began to be applied in 2015, provides a mechanism for achieving the constitutional principle of adequate and fair representation of members of the communities, at the level of each of the institutions in the public sector, and on based on the needs of the institutions themselves expressed through annual employment plans.

In 2016, the Methodology for employment planning in the public sector was adopted, according to which each institution will have to prepare an annual employment plan and implement employment procedures in accordance with the annual plan. A web tool available on the website https://balancer.mioa.gov.mk/ has been developed, through which the distribution of planned new employment is carried out electronically, according to the appropriate and fair representation.

According to the results of the Census, which were published in March, the total resident population in the country is 1 people, of which 836 percent are Macedonians, 713 Albanians, 58,44 Turks, 24,3 Roma, 3,86 Vlachs, 2,53 Serbs and 0,47 Bosniaks.

The resident population also includes 132 citizens who were not enumerated, which represents 269 percent of the total number of registered 7,3 persons. The data on them, as explained by the director of the SSO, Apostol Simovski, during the presentation of the results, were taken from administrative sources and do not contain data on ethnic or religious characteristics.

The number of the total enumerated population, on the other hand, is 2 people, and the non-resident population is 097. Of the total number enumerated, 319 percent declared themselves Macedonians, 260 were Albanians, 606 Turks, 54,21 Roma, 29,52 Serbs, 3,98 Bosniaks and 2,34 Vlachs.
