The responses of Kosovo citizens to the question "What do you think is important for employment in the private sector?" prove how the market has professionalized over more than a decade (Note: Current measurements in the relevant dataset are available up to the end of 2022): Rise of Professional Experience: In March 2011, the percentage of men who thought professional experience was important for finding private sector employment was at a low level of 14.9%, while for women it was 11.8%. In November 2022 data, this rate had nearly tripled to 43.2% for men and soared to 31.1% for women, becoming the most important criterion. Collapse in Family Connections Perception: In 2011, the percentage of men who believed nepotism (family ties) was determinant in private sector recruitment was 44.9%, while for women it was 48.2%; by November 2022 this rate had declined to 13.5% for men and 23.1% for women, clearing the way for institutionalization. Education and Bribery: The percentage of those who believed education was an important criterion in the private sector rose from 10.6% to 14.9% for men and from 7.6% to 13.3% for women between 2011 and 2022. Meanwhile, the percentage of those who thought the "bribery" factor was effective in recruitment declined from the 6-8% range to the 3% level in the same period
