Hintergrund des Projektes: 1) Arbeitslosigkeit....Human resource development is vital to the economic regeneration of Kosovo. But still, the most troubling aspect of the labour market in Kosova is the very high unemployment rate. Based on survey data[1] [2], the unemployment rate is for 2008 is around 41 %, which is several times higher than in other transition countries. It is extremely high for females (over 60%), despite a very high inactivity rate amongst women. In addition, the unemployment rate is extremely high for young persons (those aged between 16 and 24), and is estimated at 72 %. Moreover, as much as 40% of the total unemployed are in this age group. The other main characteristics are:[1][2] Very high long-term unemployment (83% of total employment) Very low level of voluntary unemployment – the minimum accepted salary by the unemployed is below the average (around 200 Euros) The inactivity rate of the Kosovar population is very high, especially for women and for those who cannot find a job and have withdrawn from the labour force (nearly 50% of them have not had a job for as long as 12 months)....
