Unlocking potential: the economic cost of women's untapped potential

Our new report shows that excluding women from the labour market is costing Kosovo over 20% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. If women participated in employment at the same level as men, the country could unlock billions in long-term economic gains, higher productivity, and stronger public finances.
