Abstract
The most recent KAS consumption poverty assessment found that
in 2011 almost a third of the population in Kosovo lived below
the poverty line (€1.72 per adult equivalent per day), while 10.2%
lived with less than €1.20 per adult equivalent per day (KAS, 2013).
Poverty is highest among the unemployed2
(36.1%) and those in
vulnerable employment including per diem workers (29.3%) and
farmers (29.4%) (KAS, 2013). At 0.741 Kosovo’s Human Development
Index (HDI) is one of the lowest in the region next to Albania and
Bosnia and Herzegovina, that are both ranked 85th globally3
(See
the Statistical Annex for details on the calculation of the HDI).
