Through the years, Macedonia has been facing a serious problem of migration. Firstly the migration was from villages to cities then it continued from smaller to bigger cities and finally out of the borders of Macedonia. Years ago, uneducated people left Macedonia and went working abroad in search for a better life. Now the situation is changed. Young and educated people are leaving Macedonia.
