According to the results of the Kosovo Mosaic Survey, around 36 percent of households reported that they do not have access to one of such essential utility services as tapped water, sanitation and electricity (see Table 2.8).

About 36 percent of non-excluded households still do not have access to these essential services. Nevertheless, access rates are better for nonexcluded households than those for the households excluded from basic goods and services. At least 42 percent of excluded families lack access to a critical utility, compared to 36 percent of non-excluded families.

lower access to services than urban families. Regional variations also apply (see figures 2.13 and 2.14). 2.4 Promoting inclusive economic growth - policy recommendations FIGURe Kosovo’s economic weaknesses 2.14 have policy and structural roots, many of which Kosovo shares with other early transitional contexts. For example, a modern education system for an educated workforce cannot be built overnight. In addition, Kosovo still continues to suffer from some poststatus political barriers hindering both exports and investments. However, analysis of the complex linkages between factor market exclusion (limited economic participation) and exclusion from basic goods and services (equated with poverty) suggests that Kosovo’s current economic trajectory needs a change in course. Economic exclusion – of which poverty is merely a subset – affects a surprisingly large proportion of Kosovans and deeply undermines their human development potential. Kosovo’s broader economic outlook is similarly affected. A macro-economy dependent on aid, remittances and imports cannot open factor markets to those currently excluded – irrespective of the impact on GDP. Translating economic growth into higher employment levels and wider economic participation requires sensitive economic and social policies, and a sincere collective effort to integrate Exclusion from utility services across different settlement sites 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Village City/Town Source: Calculated from UNDPs Kosovo Mosaic Survey 13.6% 6.9% 31.4% 11.7% 2.1% 7.8% Prishtinë/Priština the excluded into a stronger society. 1.9% Critical policy recommendations towards this goal are: (i) Re-orient economic growth towards sustainable strengthening of the labour market • Reforming the energy and mining sectors is essential to expanding a sustainable labour market: in particular, the mining sector needs urgent reform, including privatization, and the establishment of sound and transparent legal and institutional frameworks to encourage private sector investment. A reliable energy supply is a fundamental precursor to major industrial operation. • Investment climate reform must accelerate: although considerable work has been undertaken at the central level in Kosovo to establish 0.0% 0.0% No sanitation No tapped water Neither tapped water nor sanitation ECONOMIC AND LABOUR MARKET EXCLUSION | 47
