TIRANA, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- Most young people in Albania want to emigrate for work, finds a report by the Albanian National Youth Network and Children's Human Rights Center in Albania in the framework of the International Youth Day.

"70 percent of young people want to leave Albania because they have no prospect of finding a job. 80 percent say they are unhappy with the government because it does not meet its obligations," said Altin Hazizaj, head of Children's Human Rights Center of Albania, citing the report.

Moreover, according to the National Youth Index report, the Albanian government does not have a mechanism to implement youth policies.

"Out of the 60 municipalities in the country, only Tirana has a section or unit dealing with young people," Hazizaj added.
