Abstract

This paper adds to the limited research conducted on labor markets with low female labor force participation, providing the first multivariate analysis for Kosovo. The determinants of female labor force participation (FLFP) in Kosovo are investigated utilizing an eclectic model, comprising of individual, household, and socio-economic determinants, to analyze data from the Kosovo Labor Force Survey. Both supply and demand factors contribute to the explanation of the low FLFP in Kosovo. The results confirm that: age, marital status, education, labor market demand and the composition of the household are significant determinants of FLFP. These findings indicate the importance of taking a household level approach when analyzing labor force participation in countries with low female force participation.

逆势而上：科索沃女性劳动力市场参与

本文补充了对女性劳动力参与率低的劳动力市场进行的有限研究，首次对科索沃进行了多变量分析。利用一个折衷模型，包括个人、家庭和社会经济决定因素，对科索沃女性劳动力参与(FLFP)的决定因素进行了调查，以分析科索沃劳动力调查的数据。供应和需求两个因素都有助于解释科索沃FLFP低的原因。研究结果证实:年龄、婚姻状况、教育程度、劳动力市场需求和家庭构成是家庭劳动生产率的重要决定因素。这些发现表明，在分析女性劳动力参与率低的国家的劳动力参与率时，采取家庭层面方法的重要性。
