Introduction

In continuation since 2003, the DLE annual report addresses the issues of labour and employment in Kosova. Special attention is paid to the performance of activities carried out by the Department of Labour and Employment (DLE) of the Kosovan Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare (MLSW) - respectively its Division for Employment Policies, Division for Monitoring and Coordination of Employment Offices and Vocational Training Division. The Employment Offices have kept record of registered unemployment and of jobseekers as well. Out of these two categories, the registered unemployed have been obliged to regularly report every three (3) months and at any call from Employment Offices. However, due to the reforms undertaken for PVR such as development of multichannel services which will allow job seekers and employers access to the employment services online from their computers or by smart phones, and the promotion of Employment Information Management System (EIMS) from next year, the definition of category for "registered job seekers" will change and will include all those who are registered from outside (through the Internet) who are not obliged to come to the employment offices. But this category can receive the necessary services without coming to the employment offices through their computers and smart phones. So, from 2015 it will only be reported for the registered unemployed who come physically to be registered in the employment offices and report every 3 months. If they fail to appear in Employment Offices for two (2) times in row (3+3 months) then these persons are not active and maintenance of records shall be discontinued.

Objectives and Methodology – Performance Report reflects the performance of services offered by the Employment Offices and Vocational Training Centres. It presents all developments as well as, the registration of unemployed female job-seekers, mediation in employment and vocational training. The focus - predominantly - is set on the development of internal figures and internal performance indicators - by comparing figures and developments in 2014 to the results of 2013, and partially to previous years: Therefore the figures used in this report mainly refer to data collections carried out by Employment Information Management System (EIMS), from officers of the Employment Offices (EO) and the respective Regional Employment Centres (REC). On account of this, the DLE has developed the Employment Information Management System, and from this application we have extracted all data such as; registered unemployment, vacancies, employment mediation and vocational training inflow. This data has also been divided by gender, age group, ethnicity, region, activity sector, sector by owner etc. As far as external determinants are concerned for the labour market, such as the population, the working age population, the active population and the employment, the report refers to other institutions as secondary sources.

The main objective of this report is to support the decision making process and the policy design within the MLSW. Further on it aims to provide transparent information about the development of labour and employment for all relevant institutions for the broad public as interested, by:

Presenting and analysing the structure and facets of unemployment in Kosova and its regions in particular regarding the socio-demographical aspects gender, skills, age and ethnicity.

Analysing vacancies offered and placements realized, through the Kosovan employment services, regarding the socio-demographical aspects as well as the structural aspects of the demand side, such as the sectors by activity and by owner;

Highlighting the structure of participants and the outcome of the vocational training as a measure to enhance the employability of registered unemployed;


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The total number of registered jobseekers by public employment services (PES) in Kosovo

until the end of 2014 is 274,487 persons, or unemployed registered are 83,323 persons. Presented data indicate a modest increase of 2.4% in 12 months. But compared to the previous year, in 2014 we have a decrease of 3.4% into 2.4%.

The total number of jobseekers of qualification level of “unqualified” (ISCED 0-2) is 156,881 persons until the end of 2014 or registered as unemployed are 56,410 persons. Compared to other levels of qualification, the situation presents a higher proportion of the total number of unemployed (57%) and the registration rate compared to previous year of 2.1%.

The total number of unemployed registered as jobseekers in public employment services until the end of 2014, consisted of 127,921 females and 146,566 males. Number of females registered as jobseekers has a decrease of 4.2% compared to the previous year in 2.9 during the year 2014, just as the number of registered males as jobseekers having a decrease of 2.7% in 2013 into 2.0% in 2014.

A total of 6566 vacant jobs were registered during 2014 in public services of employment

(PES). If we compare with 2013 have declined for more than -5.9 %.

With regard to developments in the labour market in Kosovo for each sector of ownership, the total number of vacant places to work, referred to private sector. According to the general results in 2014 private sector has realized significant decline of -22% compared with the previous year.

In 2014 Public Employment Services offices enabled 4667 direct placements of persons

registered as unemployed into new jobs. Compared to the total number of placements in 2013, this result shows a decrease of -1.3%

Employment Mediation by economic sector confirm the developments that are related to vacancies found by labour market survey which is carried out by employment officers. In this regard, as for the placements in the tertiary sector (services) in 2014 there is a decrease from 63.0% that was in the previous year into 56.9% in this reporting year.

Placement Rate for unemployed females is 3.76%. While males reach results of 7.04% for the year 2014. In fact females are under average Kosovar values which is 5.60, while male in over-proportional manner overtake these values of 7.04%.

With regard to the development within regions of Kosovo, the employment office in Prishtina in 2014 realised the highest number of placements in absolute figures for the reporting period of 12 months which amounts to 896 persons or 19.2 %, followed by Prizren and Gjilan with 17.9 % (834) respectively by 17.5 %.

In total 3419 unemployed entered in training during 2014, distributed in 30 profiles of

Vocational Training Centres. Compared to 2013 the number of participants in Vocational Training is increased by 2.1 %.

The lowest Activation Rate in 2013 refers to the region of Prishtina by 11% or 387 participants, followed by the region of Ferizaj (397) and Mitrovica (423) by 12%.


1. Registered Jobseekers

In total 274.487 persons registered as jobseekers with the Kosovan public employment

services (PES) until the end of 2014. The shown figures represent a slight increase of 2.4%

in 12 months. But compared to the previous year, in 2014 we have a decrease from 3.4% in

2.4% in registrations.

The 12-months cumulated inflow to registered unemployment (15,108) faced quite a high decrease of -16%, compared to the results in 2013 (17,984).

12 month outflow of registered jobseekers (8,725) has indicated a significant fall by more than -5.4% from the previous year (9221).

Regarding inflow rate, it reflects a decreasing trend of registrations from the year 2013 which

continues this year as well. The outflow rate also indicates quite low figures especially in the two

last years1 indicating a low circulation and a limited dynamics of jobs acquisition and of

reintegration of unemployed to employment, taken in general, the Inflows are approximately the

double of Outflows from labour market for the reporting period.

1 Law on registration and identification of unemployed and jobseekers - Article 10/ deleting the unemployed and jobseekers from the lists, 1.7. if not presented at the Employment Offices (2) times in row for a period over six (6) months. Implementation of this law has stabilised the condition in Inflow and Outflow in the labour market, for more details see the law.

1. Registered Jobseekers

In total 274.487 persons registered as jobseekers with the Kosovan public employment

services (PES) until the end of 2014. The shown figures represent a slight increase of 2.4%

1.2. Skills and Unemployment

The total number of jobseekers of the level of qualification “unqualified” (ISCED 0-2) is 156,881 persons until the end of 2014. Compared to other levels, the situation represents a higher ratio of the total number of jobseekers (57%) and a higher registration rate compared to the previous year by 2.1%. At the same time this skills level again represents the highest number of new registrations (6525 persons) see (Table. 2 and fig. 2).

Also the other skills group, unemployed on the skills level “secondary school” represents a high number in registrations (77,310) persons. This category represents a significant increase in registration of jobseekers, by 2.8% (or 6,111 persons) compared to the previous year.

Particularly a proportional comparison of the outflow by skills may emphasise in addition to law implementation also the most direct relation of skills levels and a possible reintegration to employment (fig. 2a and tab. 2).

The higher educated skills levels (“higher school” and “university”) face both the highest average monthly inflow rates as well as the far highest average monthly outflow rates, indicating over proportional labour market dynamics respectively a lower risk to remain (long-term) unemployed. Contrasting that especially unemployed on the three lowest skills levels, comprising about 68% of registrations and with a lower dynamics as far as labour market trends are concerned.

Like in previous years the highest pressure in terms of unemployment is again on the youngest age group, particularly as far it concerns the increase in registrations by 3.0%, (see table 3 and fig. 3).

In general, seeing the general tendency, but confirming by the results from 2014, the jobseekers of the ages 25-39 then 40-54 and 55-64 years old indicate a registration increase which is (1.8%, 2.7% and 2.4%) in 2014.

1.3. Ethnicity and Unemployment

As regards to minority access to Kosovar public employment services jobseekers registrations by ethnicity are a special priority.

The registration rate during 2014 presents increasing results for all registered as jobseekers.

1.2. Skills and Unemployment

The total number of jobseekers of the level of qualification “unqualified” (ISCED 0-2) is 156,881 persons until the end of 2014. Compared to other levels, the situation represents a higher ratio of the total number of jobseekers (57%) and a higher registration rate compared to the previous year by 2.1%. At the same time this skills level again represents the highest number of new registrations (6525 persons) see (Table. 2 and fig. 2).

Also the other skills group, unemployed on the skills level “secondary school” represents a high number in registrations (77,310) persons. This category represents a significant increase in registration of jobseekers, by 2.8% (or 6,111 persons) compared to the previous year.

Particularly a proportional comparison of the outflow by skills may emphasise in addition to law implementation also the most direct relation of skills levels and a possible reintegration to employment (fig. 2a and tab. 2).

The higher educated skills levels (“higher school” and “university”) face both the highest average monthly inflow rates as well as the far highest average monthly outflow rates, indicating over proportional labour market dynamics respectively a lower risk to remain (long-term) unemployed. Contrasting that especially unemployed on the three lowest skills levels, comprising about 68% of registrations and with a lower dynamics as far as labour market trends are concerned.

Serb community marks a slight increase in figures of 2.4% in the same level as for the Albanian majority 2.4%, whereas for registered Serbs as jobseekers, there are 13179 persons, or in proportional manner they are 5%. Albanian majority in proportional way at registration of jobseekers takes part by 89%. Also all registered minorities take part with 2.3%, in registration as jobseekers or in proportional manner by 11%.

Minorities reach similar proportional results regarding the average monthly inflow rates (tab. & fig. 4). On the one hand higher inflow rates compared to Albanians, in this case positively indicate continuing progress in the inclusion of minorities and a particularly high acceptance of services offered as far it concerns the group of the unemployed minorities.

On the other hand, Kosovo minorities face unbalanced figures in unemployment outflow. Differently from earlier reporting periods, in 2014 the respective outflow rate is by 0.32% over the results achieved by Kosovar average which is 0.27% (tab. 4, compare DLE Annual Report 2013 or Labour Market Information, December 2014).

1.4. Gender and Jobseekers At the end of 2014 the total stock of persons registered as jobseekers with the Kosovan public employment offices consisted of 127,921 females and 146,566 males. While the number of female registrations decreased from 4.2% that was in the previous year into 2.9 during 2014, similarly the number of registered jobseeker males decreased from 2.7% in 2013 into 2.0% in 2014.

Taking into consideration the procedures of public employment services (PES) in general the main duty has been focused on registration of unemployed with the purpose of reintegrating them to employment and vocational training.

The unemployed: - After the registration in the Employment Information Management System, the other step is to advise the unemployed with the purpose of employment and / or career orientation. If necessary concerning an adjusted labour market orientation, a vocational training is switched between to update required skills, in order to obtain the required skills.

Employers: - The objective to lead unemployed to employment is based on the successful acquisition of vacancies - as well as to properly match unemployed – as the personnel offered – with the demand reported. This procedure usually is called employment-mediation: Contact employers, acquire vacancies (labour demand) and place jobseekers (labour supply). As far as possible, the outcome of this procedure will be illustrated in the following chapter.

4.1. Placements by Sector

Placement mediations by economic sector confirm development concerning the vacancies found by the labour market research carried out by the employment advisors. Thus in terms of placements the tertiary sector (services) in 2014 shows a decrease from 63.0% in the previous year into 56.9% in the reporting year.

The secondary sector (production) has a significant decrease from the previous year, from 23.0% to 20.2% during the year 2014. While the share on all placements referring to the primary

sector indicates increasing values from 14.0% that was in 2013 ne 22.9% for the year 2014 (see fig.17).

Comparing the sectors by owner in 2014, again comparing values correspond between the two sectors. While in the reporting year the share on all placements referring to the public sector increased significantly from 43% compared to the previous year. Whereas the economy of private sector at the same time has absorbed almost 74% of all realised placements, but compared to 2013, the decrease is also high up to -17%. (see fig. 18).

Considering the general results in 2014, the placement rate (PR) has been reached for the young age group (15-24) by 17.48%, followed by the age group (25-39) by 5.79%, whereas two other age groups (40-54 and 55+) have shown lower results by 3.08% respectively 1.36% (see fig. 21).

In other words, the share of placements is increasing where the age group 25-39 by 51.2%, followed by the age group 15-24 by 29.0%, followed by two other age groups 40-54 by 17.55 and 55+ by 2.3%.

While the elder groups seem to count more on own efforts in order to realise a successful reintegration to the labour market, this development seemingly confirms the high dependence of younger unemployed on active measures of public employment promotion.

In total placement mediation carried out by Public Employment Services in 12 months reaches number of 4667 persons, but the proportional manner is as follows: for Albanians 86% or 4025 employed, whereas all minorities have the share of 14% or 642 mediations to placement. But in particular manner, in exclusion of other minority communities, Serbs have the share of 6% or 290 mediations to placement.

Regarding the relation of placements and registrations, the Kosova-Albanians realize a 12-months placement rate (PR) of more than 5.52%, what is slightly lower than the results reached on the Kosovan average. Whereas other non-Serb minorities during this period report lower than the Kosovan average with 5.01% of placement rate (see. tab. 13 and fig. 22).

Results achieved for Kosovo-Serbs during the reporting period (2014) are above the Kosovan average by 8.54% (see tab. 13, fig. 22), what makes clear that placements for this community are higher than for Albanians (5.52% respectively 8.54%). These figures are a bit higher, and they are also because of employment programs and various projects. So, the Serb community reaches the placement rate of 8.54% which is higher than for other communities and Albanians as majority who have the share of 5.52%.

4.5. Placements by Gender

Public Employment Services have carried out 29.5% of mediations for female gender or 1.376 persons, whereas males have been mediated with 70.5% or with 3.291 persons.

PR of female unemployed is 3.76%. While male unemployed reach results of 7.04% for the year 2014. In fact females are under the Kosovar average value which is 5.60%, while males over-proportionally overtake these values by 7.04%.

In total placement mediation carried out by Public Employment Services in 12 months reaches number of 4667 persons, but the proportional manner is as follows: for Albanians 86% or 4025 employed, whereas all minorities have the share of 14% or 642 mediations to placement. But in particular manner, in exclusion of other minority communities, Serbs have the share of 6% or 290 mediations to placement.

Regarding the relation of placements and registrations, the Kosova-Albanians realize a 12-months placement rate (PR) of more than 5.52%, what is slightly lower than the results reached on the Kosovan average. Whereas other non-Serb minorities during this period report lower than the Kosovan average with 5.01% of placement rate (see. tab. 13 and fig. 22).

Results achieved for Kosovo-Serbs during the reporting period (2014) are above the Kosovan average by 8.54% (see tab. 13, fig. 22), what makes clear that placements for this community are higher than for Albanians (5.52% respectively 8.54%). These figures are a bit higher, and they are also because of employment programs and various projects. So, the Serb community reaches the placement rate of 8.54% which is higher than for other communities and Albanians as majority who have the share of 5.52%.

4.5. Placements by Gender

Public Employment Services have carried out 29.5% of mediations for female gender or 1.376 persons, whereas males have been mediated with 70.5% or with 3.291 persons.

PR of female unemployed is 3.76%. While male unemployed reach results of 7.04% for the year 2014. In fact females are under the Kosovar average value which is 5.60%, while males over-proportionally overtake these values by 7.04%.

Table 6.1 shows that majority of labour market indicators have remained relatively the same in the three last years. It is not surprising taking into consideration the lack of significant economic changes in Kosovo since 2012 and 2013 and having in mind the modest economic growth rate during this period. The unemployment rate has decreased slightly only, from 30.09% into 30.0%. The significant change has occurred in the participation of labour force which rose from 36.9% into 40.5%. From 2012 in 2013 the working age population increased only for 2,611 persons, but the number registered as most active economically grew by about 45,000. Number of persons marked below as employed grew by about 35,000, increasing the placement rate (or the placement rate to population) by about three percentage points, from 25.6% into 28.4%. It is possible that the increase of participation in the labour force and employment in 2013 were overestimated. These indicators seem not to be completely reported in LFS of 2012, while LFS of 2013 was more comprehensive in the sense of registration of small jobs, including family unpaid jobs. Therefore some of the significant growths in 2013 can probably be referred to improvement of the methodology of survey. However there are also possibilities that a part of increase such as placement, occurred as a result of real growth of jobs, supported by registration of new businesses in 2013.

- worst case = [ unemployed -(outflow-inflow)]

*100 |under the condition of decreasing registrations . Unemployed

- best case = [unemployed-(inflow+outflow)] *100 Unemployed

The Inflow Rate is the share of the average number of monthly newly registered unemployed (Inflow) out of the average number of registered unemployed during the year. In order to allow a better comparison this report partially refers to a 12 months cumulated rate.

The Outflow Rate (monthly) is the share of the average number of the monthly sum of placed and deleted (Outflow) former registered unemployed out of the average number of registered unemployed during the year. In order to allow a better comparison this report partially refers to a 12 months cumulated rate.

ISCED: International Standard Classification of Education

ISCED 0: Pre-primary Education: The initial stage of organised instruction, primarily to introduce very young children to a school-type environment. Such programmes are school- or centre-based, for children aged at least 3 years.

ISCED 1: Primary Education: The beginning of systematic studies in reading, writing and mathematics. Programmes are designed on a unit or project basis (often with one

50


teacher for all or most of the time) rather than on a subject basis (with different teachers for different subjects). The entry age is 5 to 7 years.

ISCED 2: Lower Secondary Education: The beginning of subject based teaching - to complete the provision of basic education which began in ISCED 1 and to lay the foundation for life-long learning. The full implementation of basic skills occurs at this level. This stage is sub-divided:

ISCED 2A programmes are designed for direct access to ISCED 3 in a sequence, which would ultimately lead to tertiary education.

ISCED 2B programmes are designed for direct access to ISCED 3C.

ISCED 2C programmes are designed primarily for direct access to the labour market. To progress to ISCED 3 requires also complete ISCED 2A or 2B.

ISCED 3: (Upper) Secondary Education: Further specialisation compared to ISCED 2. This stage begins at the end of compulsory schooling. Entrance age is 15 or 16. Successful completion of ISCED 2 is required. This stage is further sub-divided:

ISCED 3A programmes are designed for direct access to ISCED 5A.

ISCED 3B programmes are designed for direct access to ISCED 5B.

ISCED 3C programmes do not lead directly to tertiary education. To progress to either ISCED 5A or 5B requires also complete ISCED 3A, 3B or 4A.

ISCED 4: Post-Secondary Non-Tertiary Education: Programmes, which straddle the boundary between upper secondary and post-secondary education. The content is not sufficient to be regarded as tertiary programmes. Mostly not significantly advanced than ISCED 3 - to broaden the knowledge of students who completed ISCED 3. Programmes to prepare for the entry to tertiary education.

ISCED 4A programmes are designed for direct access to ISCED 5.

ISCED 4B programmes are designed primarily for direct access to the labour market and do not give access to ISCED 5.

ISCED 5: First Stage of Tertiary Education: Programmes whose content is more advanced than ISCED 3. Entry to these programmes requires the successful completion of programmes at ISCED 3A, 3B or 4A. This stage is further sub-divided:


ISCED 5A is largely theoretically based, intending to give access either to the advanced research programmes of ISCED 6 or to professions with high skills requirements (e.g. medical doctors). It may be necessary to take more than one qualification at ISCED 5A (e.g. a Bachelor’s and then a Master’s) before entering ISCED 6.

ISCED 5B programmes focus on occupationally specific skills geared for direct access to the labour market. They are often shorter than programmes at ISCED 5A. Their theoretical content is usually insufficient to give access to advanced research programmes (without first completing a programme at ISCED 5A).

ISCED 6: Second Stage of Tertiary Education: Programmes, which lead to the award of an advanced, research qualification (usually doctorate level or beyond). The programmes are devoted to advanced study and original research and are not based on course-work alone.

It may be necessary to take more than one qualification at ISCED 5A (e.g. a Bachelor’s and then a Master’s) before entering ISCED 6.

ISCED 5B programmes focus on occupationally specific skills geared for direct access to the labour market. They are often shorter than programmes at ISCED 5A. Their theoretical content is usually insufficient to give access to advanced research programmes (without first completing a programme at ISCED 5A).

ISCED 6: Second Stage of Tertiary Education: Programmes, which lead to the award of an advanced, research qualification (usually doctorate level or beyond). The programmes are devoted to advanced study and original research and are not based on course-work alone.
