Labour Force Participation and Inactive Population Analysis in Kosovo. Below is the SEO content plan and article draft No. 3, prepared for the kosovainvestment.com "Why Invest in Kosovo?" page, based on data uploaded from ASK (Kosovo Agency of Statistics).
An examination of ASK's "Economically Inactive Population" data reveals the following key findings regarding the potential size of the labour market: Overall Scale of Inactive Population: In 2024, 56.8% of Kosovo's population aged 15-64 was recorded as inactive (neither working nor seeking employment). Numerically, this group corresponds to 610,137 persons. Trend Over the Years: The overall inactivity rate has been on a steady downward trend. This rate, which was 63.1% in 2012, gradually declined to 61.7% in 2020, 59.3% in 2023, and finally 56.8% in 2024. This decline indicates that more people are joining the active labour force each year. Gender Distribution: The gender gap within the inactive population is quite wide. According to 2024 data, 39.4% of men aged 15-64 (211,849 persons) are inactive, while for women this rate reaches 74.1% (398,288 persons). Women's economic inactivity constitutes the largest share of the total inactive population. (Note: The uploaded sources do not contain detailed regional or city-level distribution of the inactive population; the analysis covers all of Kosovo.)
