Moldovan Youth: Alienated and Polarised

The study explores the lives, values, concerns, and plans of Moldovan youth. It also provides a comprehensive and consistent account of the living conditions and financial well-being; education and employment; attitudes towards democracy, governance, foreign policy, and EU integration. The study addresses young people's views of the USSR and transition, identity issues, as well as their feelings about climate change. The aspirations, plans and expectations of young people are also addressed in the study through the lens of their visions of the future, family and children, and migration plans. This publication is a part of the FES International Youth Studies. Starting in 2009 FES has conducted numerous Youth Studies around the globe. The International Youth Studies are a flagship project of the Friedrich Ebert-Stiftung in its endeavor to research, shape, and strengthen the democracy of the future. It strives to contribute to the European discourse on how young generations see the development of their societies as well as their personal future in a time of national and global transformation. The representative studies combine qualitative and quantitative elements of research in close partnership with the regional teams aiming a high standard in research and a sensitive handling of juvenile attitudes and expectations.

Transnistria, the “Achilles' heel” in the European path of Moldova

The current edition of the FES/APE foreign policy newsletter is dedicated to the Transnistrian issue and the relevant aspects of how the reintegration of the two banks of the Dniester could occur. We are discussing possible scenarios for the reintegration of the secessionist region on the left of the Dniester within the Republic of Moldova, Moscow's opposition to such a project, as well as how coherent Chisinau's policies, as well as those of the Western partners, should be in this regard. A separate topic is the future development model of the right bank of the Dniester to make it attractive for the residents of the left bank and the economic comparison between the two banks. The author of the edition's editorial comes with a vision of the actions that the constitutional authorities should undertake in relation to the separatist regime in Tiraspol and the possibility of reintegration of the Transnistrian region, while the experts of the Platform for Security and Defence Initiatives (PISA) analyse how the topic of the Transnistrian conflict is reflected in the National Security Strategy, a document that will guide the policies and actions of all state institutions for the coming years.

The minimum wage in the Republic of Moldova: it’s time for a more determined attitude

The study “The minimum wage in the Republic of Moldova: it’s time for a more determined attitude” aims to open a broader debate on the need to revitalize the minimum wage in the Republic of Moldova and the implications of a more dynamic growth. The study dismantles existing myths about the minimum wage, also in the Republic of Moldova, and highlights the benefits of a sustainable increase in the minimum wage, namely: protection of the most vulnerable employees, stimulating vertical wage growth (given that collective agreements and employment contracts are still working for some sectors), increasing the purchasing power of the population, combating tax evasion on wages (especially "gray" wages - paid partly legally and partly informally), increasing budget revenues, reorienting companies over time to more complex and with higher added value activities.

Transformation of the Republic of Moldova in the new regional energy realities

This issue of the foreign policy newsletter is dedicated to the energy security of the Republic of Moldova and the transformations in the energy sector that Chisinau was forced to operate in the context of the military invasion of Ukraine. The edition presents an interview with the Minister of Energy, Victor Parlicov, about how Moldova is opening up to a free and competitive market in the field of gas supplies, about the plans of the Ministry of Energy to connect the country to the EU gas and electricity market, as well as about the strategic vision regarding the development of the country's energy sector. In a collective interview, energy experts from Romania and Moldova address topics such as the entry of Transgaz, a Romanian company, on the gas market of Moldova and the breaking of the monopoly held until now by Gazprom through its subsidiary Moldovagaz. The experts of the Platform for Security and Defence Initiatives, PISA, present an thorough analysis of how important energy security is in the perspective of the European political ambitions of the Republic of Moldova.
