Description

Based on available data, documents, reports, information, legal documents and acts, and in-depth interviews, this Policy Report assesses the current pension system. It analyses the important issues that must be taken into account by the authorities and regulators responsible for the Kosovo pension reform. Firstly, this Policy Report reviews the current system of pension provision, briefly describing and analysing the reforms since 2002.Secondly, it identifies the main gaps and challenges inherent within the current pension system, as well as their current and future implications. It will indirectly also assess whether or not pension schemes have been used as a social inclusion strategy, and the extent of such social inclusion policies alongside their apparent impact on escaping poverty. Finally, the report will provide policy recommendations for further improvement, and if necessary, policy suggestions for the reforming of the pension system.
