Albania is faced with a number of population and
reproductive health challenges, especially among adolescents, made worse by economic and
social difficulties.
Nineteen ninety-seven was a challenging year for the countries of Central and Eastern
Europe. While progress has been made in recent years in improving the standards of living
and overall well-being of the population, certain setbacks have also been witnessed,
including civil unrest in Albania; a volatile peace process in Bosnia-Herzegovina; and
increasingly limited job opportunities for women in the region, leading to higher
unemployment rates and subsequent declines in family incomes.
