labour market, in order to match with the market needs. This paper aims to show
the main factors of the labour market of Kosovo regarding gender, and the
possibilities of improving the level of unemployment through vocational training.
Republic of Kosovo has marked employment imbalance regarding gender, with the
very low participation rates of women in the labour force, this was evident shown
in the first years of transition Labour force participation and the level of
employment has been low, and unemployment high. In 2002, labour force
participation rate in Kosovo was 41.3 %, with male participation rate at 56 % and
women participation rate at only 27 %. From the data of the recent Labour Force
Survey (2012) after ten years we find that the level of activity rate of women of
working age is even lower, only one-in-five (17.8% ) women of working age are
active in the labour market.
