In response, investing in economic growth and job creation are among the key priorities of the government of kosovo. Based on data from the Kosovo agency of statistics (KAS), the unemployment rate remains high, with significant gender disparities. Informality in employment, poor job quality, and lack of decent working conditions remain critical concerns.<\/span><\/p><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Income and gender inequalities, often shaped by social norms, further exacerbate economic challenges. Women workers in kosovo face multiple layers of discrimination, including employers&#8217; reluctance to hire them due to maternity leave costs, a disproportionate share of unpaid care work, limited access to quality daycare services, workplace harassment, and deeply rooted societal norms regarding gender roles. As a result, women\u2019s participation in the labor market remains low.<\/span><\/p><div><span lang=\"EN-GB\">IKS is a leading organization in kosovo on social justice issues and has played a significant role in the social dialogue process. As part of the project \u2018toward social justice and equity,\u2019 iks intends to publish this research paper to assess employees\u2019 perceptions of labor market challenges. Specifically, the study focuses on evaluating employees\u2019 perceptions of their working conditions. Regularly assessing employee perceptions serves multiple purposes: it provides a snapshot of labor rights awareness, informs policy decisions, and fosters public discourse on employment and living standards. The study aims to highlight gaps in labor rights enforcement and contribute to a broader database on employment conditions and citizen well-being. The findings can guide activities such as awareness campaigns and labor inspections, ensuring better realization of workers&#8217; rights.<\/span><\/div><div><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div><div><span lang=\"EN-GB\">You can find the Terms of Reference below.
