Long-Term Unemployment and Trainable Workforce Pool in Kosovo. Below is the SEO content plan and article draft No. 27, based on ASK (Kosovo Agency of Statistics) data.
According to ASK's 2012-2024 "Duration of unemployment for more than a year" dataset: Overall Share of Long-Term Unemployment: As of 2024, 77.4% of unemployed in the 15-64 age group have been jobless for over one year. Gender Distribution: Long-term unemployment is similarly high in both genders: 78.4% of unemployed men and 76.3% of unemployed women have been seeking work for over a year in 2024. Age Group Breakdown: Long-term unemployment among youth (15-19) is 55.8%, in the 20-24 group 67.6%, rising with age. For example, 74.2% of unemployed persons aged 25-29 and 75.7% of those aged 30-34 have been jobless for over a year. Historical Trend: Although Kosovo's general unemployment rate dropped sharply from 25.9% in 2020 to 10.8% in 2024, the "share of long-term unemployment among the unemployed" has increased (from 71.7% in 2020 to 77.4% in 2024). This confirms that the easily employable segment (with skill matches) found jobs quickly, while the remaining 10.8% unemployed are struggling to integrate into the market.
