North Macedonia faces rising demographic, social, and economic demands
Public broadcaster MRT reports on North Macedonia's domestic challenges, including economic relief for businesses, shortages of eldercare facilities, and rising speech therapy needs for children.
Macedonian Radio Television (MRT) has highlighted several social, demographic, and economic challenges currently facing North Macedonia. Reports emphasize that local businesses require continued government support to navigate ongoing economic headwinds.
Meanwhile, the country is grappling with an aging population, which has driven up demand for specialized retirement homes, particularly across eastern regions where facilities remain scarce. Additionally, healthcare professionals report a rising number of young children seeking speech therapy for speech and language development issues. Local institutions and public services face increasing pressure to adapt to these shifting demographic and developmental needs.
