The scanning of ‘Champion Companies for Family-Friendly Workplaces in Albania’ is part of an analysis conducted under the regional project “Expanding Choices: Gender-Responsive Family Policies for the Private Sector in the Western Balkans and Moldova”. Implemented by the UNFPA and supported by the Austrian Development Agency, the project aims to establish partnerships with the private sector and respective governments so as to advocate for and advance gender-responsive family policies in the Western Balkans and Moldova.

Evidence shows that when implemented by both the public and private sectors, these policies are powerful tools to shift discriminatory gender norms, reduce inequalities and contribute towards the redistribution of unpaid care work, so that both men and women can realize their career aspirations and their fertility intentions.
The scanning report has been prepared by DM Consulting Services with the support of UNFPA Country Office in Albania. The opinions expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UNFPA or Austrian Development Agency.
