Abstract
Kosovo's economy experienced strong
growth over the past decade. Has growth translated into
robust job creation? Do those in the bottom forty percent of
the population have access to employment opportunities that
can translate into sustainable shared prosperity? This
report seeks to provide an integrated analysis of the
demand-side and supply-side constraints to job creation and
employment; and highlighting salient issues like informality
and skill mismatches. Bringing together evidence from a
number of data sources, including surveys of household
budgets and labor force, as well as firm-level panel data
and a specialized survey capturing the employers'
assessments of demand and supply of skills in Kosovo, the
report tries to provide evidence to argue that reforms aimed
at adopting the right set of rules, and developing the right
set of skills, to promote job creation, will be vital to
reduce inactivity and youth disenfranchisement, and to
productively employ the demographic dividend.
