| Summary: | This note examines the provision of
childcare and eldercare in Kosovo with an emphasis on the
availability, price, and quality of care, and suggests
policy priorities that address the identified challenges.
The analysis in this note is based on a study aimed at
exploring childcare and eldercare in the Western Balkans
region, drawing primarily from a new mixed-methods dataset,
described in the following section, and building on relevant
quantitative surveys and data sources specific to Western
Balkans countries. The note is structured as follows:
section two introduces the new, independent mixed methods
data set that is the basis for the analysis and findings
presented. Section three describes the use of formal care
arrangements in Kosovo. Next, based on the analysis of
perspectives both from families with care needs and from
care providers and discussing the role of norms and
perceptions of childcare and eldercare use, the following
sections are dedicated to the description of supply and
demand of childcare and eldercare, respectively. Sections
four and five focuses on the supply and demand of childcare,
and sections six and seven describe supply and demand of
eldercare. Section eight concludes by examining what we know
in terms of policies that can support families in informal
care provision in a sustainable and incentive-compatible manner. |
