Sažetak
This report analyses the structure and perspectives of modernisation of the social protection system of Kosovo under UN Security Council Resolution 1244, against the background of current economic, demographic and social trends. It focuses on the three recently streamlined topics covered by the EU Open Method of Coordination – social inclusion, pensions and health and long-term care. Chapter 1 explores the broad economic, political and demographic context and explores trends in labour markets and educational systems. Chapter 2 addresses social protection systems including social assistance, social insurance and social services. Chapter 3 analyses poverty and social exclusion as well as identifying the groups which are most vulnerable. Chapter 4 focuses on old age, survivors’ and disability pensions. Chapter 5 addresses access to health services and long-term care. Both chapters address issues of financing and sustainability as well as equity in the context of current and proposed reform efforts. Chapter 6 draws conclusions and notes the key challenges in terms of modernising responses to social exclusion and reforming Kosovo’ s social protection system.
