    Description
    SOCIEUX+ collaborated with the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Moldova to establish a vital safety net for workers facing employer insolvency. Currently, the lack of a wage guarantee mechanism leaves many without compensation when businesses fail. This action aimed to transpose EU Directive 2008/94/EC, ensuring Moldova’s labor standards align with European requirements for inclusive and equitable social protection. Mobilizing expertise from Slovakia, Czechia, and Romania, the mission produced a draft legislative framework and a gender-responsive social impact study. These results identified that women and low-income workers are most vulnerable during insolvency, leading to specific safeguards in the proposed law. Additionally, a phased implementation roadmap was developed to guide the establishment of a sustainable Wage Guarantee Fund managed by the National Office of Social Insurance. This cooperation significantly strengthens Moldova’s institutional capacity and social protection architecture as it advances toward EU integration.
