Sažetak
This report explores social protection and social inclusion in the Western Balkans, namely: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo under United Nations Security Council resolution 1244, Montenegro, and Serbia, drawing on a series of independent reports completed in August 2008. The report addresses key political, economic and demographic trends, including the functioning of labour markets and education systems ; the financing of, eligibility for and access to social protection ; general living conditions and groups at risk of poverty and social exclusion ; access to pensions and to health and long-term care. The report explores disparities and discrimination based on gender, age, disability, 'ethnicity', and sexual orientation, as well as exploring spatialised inequalities. The report identifies future challenges for the modernisation of social protection systems and for promoting social inclusion, framed in terms of the revised Social Inclusion objectives of the European Union.
