Gender: women in Kosovo face
much lower access to factor markets
than men (see Table 2.7). 55 According
to the latest Labour Force Survey,
labour force participation rates are
distinctively lower for women: 26.1
percent compared to 65.8 percent for
men. This means that out of 10 women
that are of working age, 7.4 do not participate
in the labour market. By comparison,
the EU average female labour
force participation rate in 2007 was 64
percent. Despite relatively low partici-
pation rates among women, in 2008
the female unemployment rate was
about 17 percentage points higher
than the one for the males.
Employment is only one facet of
women’s exclusion from factor markets.
Their participation as owners of
land or business is even lower. SHE-
ERA, a women’s business association in
Kosovo, reported that only 6 percent of
all registered businesses were owned
by women in 2006. 56 The ‘Women
