Evidence snapshot for North Macedonia
North Macedonia has implemented several digital governance and gender-equality initiatives over the past decade, with mixed results. Moj Termin's digital health booking system has reduced administrative bottlenecks since 2012, yet remains inaccessible to elderly and marginalized women who must rely on relatives or doctors, a challenge intensifying as the population aged 65+ grew from 11.9% (2012) to 17.7% (2022). North Macedonia's 40% candidate gender quota shows that legal mandates alone do not guarantee proportional representation—women's parliamentary seat share fell to 39.2% in 2025, below the legal threshold, despite comprising 45% of municipal candidates. Positively, media-literacy training for pensioners trained over 500 retirees to identify disinformation 6–12% more accurately than untrained peers, with female participants showing roughly double the gains in advanced verification skills.
