Europe and Central Asia Kosovo |
| description |
Kosovo is one of the poorest countries
in Europe (World Bank 2010). In 2009, 35 percent of the
population lived below the poverty line. This note was
prepared primarily as a key input to the Kosovo country
partnership strategy (FY2012 to FY2015) and aims to provide
an overview of gender disparities in three major domains:
human capital, labor market, and entrepreneurship. The note
provides a broad picture of gender disparities in Kosovo in
education, health, and access to economic opportunities.
Lack of statistical data on Kosovo, and particularly of
gender-disaggregated data, limits the depth and scope of
this gender diagnostic. Men and women in Kosovo have lower
education levels than men and women in the European Union
(EU). Women comprise less than 10 percent of all
entrepreneurs and 0.3 percent of top management positions.
This note is organized as follows: section one highlights
gender differences in human capital focusing on education
and health outcomes; section two describes men's and
women's relative employment patterns; section three
focuses on gender disparities in entrepreneurship and career
advancement in business and politics; and section four
provides concluding observations. |
