Education: the probability of exclusion
from basic goods and services
is negatively correlated with educational
attainment. The incidence of exclusion
from basic goods and services
of those with basic education (1-9
years of schooling) is much higher relative
to other groups with more education,
reflecting their lack of skills and
knowledge to benefit from existing

Ethnicity: the Kosovo-RAE communities
face a substantially higher
incidence of exclusion from basic
goods and services (often several
times higher than the Kosovo average)
than the general population. Other
ethnic groups such as Kosovo-Turks
and Kosovo-Bosnians face a lowerthan-average
exclusion incidence rate
with only 11.1 percent of households
excluded from basic goods and services.
The exclusion from basic goods
and services rate for Kosovo-Albanians
is three percentage points higher than
the average exclusion rate for Kosovo
(the average rate is 21.2 percent). Only
1.4 percent of Kosovo-Serb households
are excluded from basic goods
and services.

Access to utility services: lack of
access to essential and health-promoting
public services is a critical expression
of exclusion. Clean water, sanitation,
energy, telecommunications and
other services contribute tangibly to the
reduction of exclusion from both factor
markets and basic goods and services.
Since access to water, sanitation, and
energy represent basic needs, meeting
these needs increases productivity and
overall well-being of the households.
Moreover, access to utility services can
also empower the households in their
economic activities. For example, access
to electricity is crucial to stimulate
