| Summary: | The purpose of the Labour Force Survey
in Kosovo is to provide statistical data on labor market
indicators and enable comparisons to be drawn with previous
years. The methodology and definitions applied in the LFS
are the same as those used in 2012 and is consistent with
Eurostat regulations. The LFS survey includes 600
Enumeration Areas throughout the territory of Kosovo where
4,800 households are interviewed. This Labour Force Survey
2013 report contains data on employment and unemployment by
age, gender, employment status, economic activities,
occupations and other areas of the labor market. At the end
of the report section 6 reports on changes of the main
indicators between 2012 and 2013. Overall there have not
been any dramatic changes, which is to be expected. The
unemployment rate has remained virtually unchanged between
2012 and 2013 and it remains higher among women than men.
The unemployment rate is higher among young people. Kosovo
continues to exhibit challenging labor market performance
despite a continued growth rate. Kosovo is one of the
transition countries least affected by the global economic
crisis, however if the economy slows down this complicates
the task of generating new jobs that are needed each year in
order to meet the growing number of new entrants into the
labor force. |
