In general: economic conditions are poor wrong mental paths Unemployment is in direct connection with the lacking of good economic conditions in Kosovo, lack of investments in agriculture and in the infrastructure. There are many reasons and consequences coming from social and culture area, starting with critics against the institutions and bodies and without forgetting self-criticism here. Self-criticism first step for more realistic effords Youth in many cases acts not realistic by applying for a job position or for managerial positions without any experience. The culture of being dependent on the family and not taking the responsibility to earn their own money, often makes the young population to care even less for any own economic activity. Institutions often don't care about laws and human rights The critics against the institutions start by mentioning the violation of the rights at work, discrimination of minorities, persons with special needs and gender discrimination in the private sector. Law No 50/1 and other laws are not implemented and authorities are not doing anything about this. Are there also ideologic reasons? A small number of the members of the working groups think that communism as ideology does have an impact over the unemployment. According to them it makes people more passive, and the rest think that it is the neoliberalism as ideology that we have embraced in Kosovo and that it has caused unemployment. Education has no labor-world orientation The role of education in Kosovois very unproductive. The universities do not establish partnerships with businesses and as a consequence of this there is no orientation according to the labor market needs. Students are taught mainly about the general theory part due to the absence of specialization for special professions. There is no proper career advisory Another problem that is related to the unemployment is the lack of proper career orientation guide, also at university level. Orientation happens by chance oraccident, and thus creating too many jurists, economists and less physicists, chemists, food technology experts, etc. Figure 10. Working Group " Employment", facilitator Avdyl Gashi Requests and Recommendations: More transparency Increased transparency would increase the level of trust of the citizens for the institutions and would add to the decrease of corruption and nepotism. They are negative occurrences that are everywhere present regarding employment opportunities. Less political interferencies Also, the interference from political parties in power should be prevented. Still too many of their militants and persons affiliated to them, who in most of the cases are not qualified for the positions that they apply for, get jobs in public administration. Functioning carreer centers Active trade unions Functionalizing of the career centers and increase of the efficiency of the trade unions in Kosovo, so that in the future there would be a proper professional orientation and protection of workers' rights. 18
