Introduction

This is the first report on Kosovan migration prepared by the Kosovo Agency of Statistics. This report introduces data on both national and international migration (emigration-immigration).

KAS has prepared this report, and published it, under the responsibilities deriving from the Law on Official Statistics of the Republic of Kosovo, no. 04/L-036, specifically under Articles 16 and 28 of this Law

An adequate importance has been given to the concepts of migration in order to allow the users of this data to distinguish the correct terminology.

This is an important report as it provides a solid basis for assessing the key features of international migration.

The report contains demographic and socio-economic aspects of migration.

For various researchers, including demographers and statisticians, data on international migration is an important source for assessing the migration trends in terms of reproduction, gender, age, and other factors that well be important for future evaluation and planning.

Since the data is given at the municipal level, the users of this data have the potential to use it in order to plan migration, and its impact on the family, municipality, or even the region, in the future.

In economic terms this data is a good basis for evaluating (based on focusing across various countries) the flow of investments from Diaspora and the remittances.

This report will make it possible for data users to become closely informed about internal migration, reasons for migration, migration periods, age, gender of migrants, and other aspects, which are included in this report.

Analysis made in this report and various tables introduced provide for data users a comprehensive report on internal migration, as a valuable source for further work in future planning, analyzing, and projecting of internal migration trends.

Countries/municipalities that face steep emigration can plan more favorable conditions in order to reduce the rate of emigration for not having steep emigration in the future, while countries/municipalities with steep immigration can do their appropriate planning on capacities and possibilities on providing necessary conditions in the future.

This data will be important both at the national and local level.

Drafting of this report was enabled as a result of the 2011 Population Census in Kosovo which has been conducted based on international criteria and standards on censuses, including the form on population which had emigrated out of Kosovo.

Preface

The publication of a report of this nature, with a focus on migration, represents a new and important milestone in the continuous professional work of the Kosovo Agency of Statistics.

Data collected during the 2011 Population and Housing Census and other data from various sources have been used as the main sources for analyzing the reasons of migration in the recent decades.

Data on international migration in this report are mainly for the migration period from 1969 up to April 2011.

The data is important for policy makers, both at the municipal and the national level, for researchers of various areas, as well for various national and international organizations.

The report also highlights the situation through which the Kosovan population has gone through in the last five (5) decades and the main factors that have influenced migration.

Large population movements, especially international migration, occurred in the late 1980’s with a larger flow in 1990 and later. The current migration flows is still relatively large, mainly due to family reunifications and the high level of unemployment which are the main two push factors generating irregular migrants.

The biggest changes in internal migration occurred especially after 1999.

While international migration mainly included young people, internal migration included mainly whole families which moved from rural areas (mainly hilly-mountainous areas) to urban or suburban areas.

In addition to socio-economic consequences, migration also affected the reproductive aspects of the Kosovan population and certain areas. Therefore, the analysis of international and internal migration in Kosovo, based on the data collected, is of particular interest.

The report is divided into five (5) chapters. The first chapter introduces the internationally recognized definitions and the purpose of migration for the Kosovo caseload in particular; the second chapter introduces International Migration; the third chapter introduces internal migration; and the fourth chapter introduces statistical estimations of Kosovo population.

CHAPTER I

1.1.1 ABOUT THE TERMS ON POPULATION MOVEMENT/MIGRATION

In world literature, as well in domestic literature, certain universal terms on population movements are being used in almost all aspects of communications, media and literature. These terms are considered acceptable for the purpose of this study, and will thus be used throughout the report. Hereafter, the following terms will be used:

• Population spatial movement, change of settlement- Migration

• Population departure from a settlement- Emigration

• Population arrived from another settlement- Immigration

Migration is a term used to describe the spatial movement of people, but in a broader sense it also includes the movement of other populations. The data on population migration usually introduces the waves or the trends of movement of people between countries in both directions: emigration (departure) and immigration (arrival).

Data users in some cases fail to make the distinction between these terms in an appropriate manner. Both terms emigration and immigration imply population movement.

The term emigration tends to be used more often because it is a term that is used very often in media and in politics.

The Kosovo Agency of Statistics has provided additional clarifications on the terms used in this publication.

1.1.2 DEFINITIONS

Migration, The process of movement of a population within the state, or across an international border. Migration includes any kind of movement of the population regardless of its size, length, composition, and/or cause . In essence, it implies the change of usual residence with another place of residence (municipality, region, country).

In administrative-territorial terms, migration is divided into:

• Emigration-national / international and

• Immigration-national / international

Emigration - is the act of departing from one place of residence to another residence (within that country or outside that country) with the view to settling there. Emigration simply indicates departure of a person into another country with the view of settling, working, receiving education, or other factors. Persons temporarily returned due to special needs, specific activities, and/or visits, for a short period of time, but who will again return to live in the country where they had migrated, are still migrants.

Immigration - is the opposite of emigration. Immigration is the act of movement of people settling (arriving) into a country, but who were not nationals of that country. In practical terms, immigration implies people who plan to stay/arrive in a place where you are.

International emigration - this term refers to people who leave their country of origin to establish themselves either temporarily or permanently in another country. This includes any persons who migrated, temporarily or permanently, across the borders of the national state.

Internal immigration - is the migration of persons from one place of residence to another residence (municipality, region,) within the borders of the national state. This immigration may be permanent or temporary.


13PAGE

1.1.3 Purpose of migration

People migrate or change their previous place of residence moving into a new residence, municipality, or country, for many reasons.

Migration experts devide the factors affecting migration into:

- Push factors and

- Pull factors

While the breakdown of these factors and the reasons for migration are:

1. Economic Reasons: In economic terms this means that people emigrate to earn more financial means. If a country offers better financial conditions for the future (higher salaries and better standards of living), many individuals consider this as an adequate factor to migrate to that country. Other push factors for emigration include the possibility of a long term job and better working conditions in the country of destination than in the country of origin.

2. Standard of living: Related to the above, many people strive to emigrate, or to send their children abroad, with the intention to improving their standard of living. This migration implies that these persons feel that migration provides a better career perspective and a higher standard of living for them and their children. Better health and social services are additional factors that have an impact on migration. These higher standards of living also include environmental factors that may suit specific needs and/or preferences of individuals that migrate.

3. Education: Countries where people tend to emigrate to generally have a greater range of educational opportunities. The quality of educational institutions in these countries is a pull factor for migration due to the fact that these countries offer better educational options compared to their country of origin. This migration is an impulse expressed especially among young generations, mostly students, and among those who have the possibility to emigrate.

4. Political reasons: Political migration includes persons (and their families) who, in their homeland countries, are persecuted for their political beliefs, have limited freedom of expression in their country and, in general, are against the present state system in that country. The Universal Declaration of human rights 1948, recognizes the right of persons who are persecuted for their political beliefs to seek asylum in other countries . Migration of these persecuted individuals into another country, in many cases, gives them a greater possibility to develop their political activities, adopt a greater level of personal security, an improved ability to lobby for their country, among other political factors.


14PAGE

5. Family reunification: The process through which family members, that were separated through either voluntary, or forced migration, regroup in a new country, other than the one of their origin. This enables family members to emigrate/move to that country through various forms, such as: family reunification (with parent, children, or other members of a wider family), marriage with the person living in the country of destination where she/he tends to move for cohabitation reasons.

6. Other: certain groups of people who emigrate have other push factors pushing them to migrate such as: family reunification members from the wider family (in cases when the relatives have moved out, emigration for religious reasons, mother tongue or close language to mother tongue, due to conflicts, wars, better long-term security in social, political terms.

1.1.4 ABOUT 2011 POPULATION CENSUS

The Population Census in Kosovo has been conducted based on the Law on: ‘’POPULATION, HOUSEHOLD AND HOUSING CENSUS,’’ no. 03/L-237. Under Article 3 of this law population divisions are specified as: resident population and non-resident population.

Article 3. Item 1.1’’ Resident population - individuals who have lived for a continuous period of time in their usual place of residence for more than twelve (12), months prior to census day, or who have arrived in that place of residence within the period of twelve (12) months prior the census day with the purpose to live there longer than one (1) year. Persons temporarily absent from their usual place of residence in the resident country, for a period of time less than twelve (12) months, for various reasons, such as: employment, studying, traveling, and health treatment or education shall be included in the census, respectively in the resident population.

Article 3. 1.2 Supplementary List - is the list of registered Kosovo population, considered not as a resident population of Kosovo, but which are the citizens of Kosovo. During the enumeration process the data about these persons has been provided by the person him/herself or by a family member”.

2. INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION

Migration is a challenge for almost all countries when it comes to coverage and derivation of representative statistical data on international migration, and as such it is being discussed at the highest scientific, research, professional, as well as political, levels. This is due to the complexity that is provided in terms of its definition as well as a result of the fact that the migration process is a dynamic process that is constantly changing over time and affecting different layers of society. The complexity that migration provides due to its definition and its process combined with the reality that nowadays the mobility of people is much greater than in the past, provides an issue for both data users and gatherers.

For various reasons of migration (better economic conditions, education, political reasons, family reunification, among other reasons), international migration of a person from the country of origin, usually is not reported or followed by de-registration at the competent institutions of the country that the person leaves. However, the data on immigration (arrival) of a person from another country are more representative than the data on migration. This is the determining factor (de-registration/registration) that makes difficult derivation of real statistical data on the number of international migration.

2.1.1 INTERNATIONAL EMIGRATION

According to the international migration definitions and standards: a person is an migrant if she/he has left her/his country of birth with the view of settling permanently in another country, no matter if she/he has a special status in the country where she/he has emigrated. A person settled in the country where she/he has migrated (settled) is the resident person of that country. (Temporary travelling abroad for the purpose of recreation, holidays, visiting friends or relatives, for business, medical treatment, or religious pilgrimage does not change the country of usual residence of the person. )

Children born in the country where their parents emigrated (children of migrant parents), by international standards are not migrants. They, the children, have not emigrated from another country, but they were born there (it is their home country) and their place of usual residence is the country where their parents have emigrated. This definition or standard (on emigration) has been used by the Kosovo Agency of Statistics during the Population Census conducted in April, 2011, on collecting data on the Kosovan population that emigrated outside of Kosovo.

Data collected on persons who previously have been Kosovo residents, but who have moved abroad for more than 12 months, regardless their citizenship, has been collected with the form: ‘’Supplementary list on household members living abroad Kosovo (FORM S1)’’

According to official data collected from the FORM S1, ‘ the number of persons (only of those born in Kosovo) who had emigrated from Kosovo was 380.826 persons. According to this data, in proportion to Kosovo’s resident population , 21.4% of population was living outside Kosovo.

The following analysis on international migration was based on the number of persons captured during the last Census, in April, 2011?

Kosovo Agency of Statistics (KAS) is aware that this number of migrants is higher, on the grounds that during the population census, for some of these migrants, there were no close relatives available to provide complete information on the number of household members who had emigrated outside Kosovo. In chapter IV the assessment on Kosovo’s population and the population with Kosovan origin, who had emigrated outside Kosovo, is provided

2.1.2 International migration from Kosovo municipalities

The largest number of migrants was from the municipalities of: Pristina, Gjakova, Mitrovica, and Suha Reka. While, the smallest number of migrants had small municipalities: Ranillug, Partesh and Mamusha.

Figure 2.1 Number of migrant population from Kosovo municipalities

The number of migrants in proportion to the number of resident population in Kosovo varies greatly in different parts of the country. In municipalities with a small resident population, the migration rate was lower such as in: Shtërpce, Graçanica, Ranillug and Mamusha where the rate was under 10%. However, it goes up to around 30-47% in other municipalities, such as: Suha Reka, Mitrovica, Klina, and Gjakova.

Suha Reka had the largest rate of migrant population in proportion to its resident population, with around 47% of its population living abroad. In Pristina, the reported migration rate was around 15% of the resident population, i.e. around 30 thousand persons.

2.1.3 International migration by country of residence

Based on the 2011 population census data, over 35% of total Kosovo’s population had emigrated to Germany, followed by Switzerland with around 23%, and Italy over 7%. Other countries, including Canada and Australia, comprised of over 10% of the Kosovan migrant population.

2.1.4 Preferences of emigration from municipalities

It seems that migration in certain countries was related to the first migrants from a certain municipality or region who have been settled in that country. Hence, people from Suha Reka predominantly had emigrated to Italy and Slovenia, but migrants from Prizren and Malisheva were also concentrated in these areas. People from Gjakova emigrated mainly to Switzerland and Belgium, while people from Mitrovica mainly moved to Germany and Sweden. People from Pristina emigrated mainly to English-speaking countries such as USA and England, while people from Ferizaj and Gjilan were more concentrated in Switzerland and France. In the following table, data on the largest number of migrant population (from three municipalities of Kosovo), in the respective countries, is introduced.

2.1.5 Emigration by sex

In 2011, the sex ratio of Kosovan migrant population was: 56.67% male and 43.33% female.

Early migration was dominated by males, due to the fact that in the past migration was more of a result of the export of labor force.

More recent years have been characterized by a more female dominated emigration. This trend is shown by the fact that the migration gender ratio was roughly equal in 2000-2004, while in recent years females dominate emigration: 52.94% female and 47.06% male (marriages also had an impact on the latter).

Figure 2.3 Emigration flow by gender and years, expressed as a percentage

Figure 2.4 shows migration by sex in the 10 primary countries of migration, male migrants were predominant to Slovenia, while the number of females was very close to the number of males who emigrated to Sweden. This is due the fact that Slovenia is a country that is not far from Kosovo, which facilitates family reunification, as well as the perceived ease of making profits when compared to other countries.

23PAGE


2.1.6 Emigration by age

A significant number of the migrant population was aged 0-14 years, 16.9%, which indicates that they moved abroad in recent years (family migration remains significant). The age group 25-44 years comprised 47.2% of the migrant population (main reproductive age in terms of fertility and labor force), while the age group 30-34 years was predominant with 12.7%.

Persons over the working age (retired) comprised a small number of the Kosovan migration population: around 1.30%. This small number of Kosovan migrants, proved that migrant population over this age, after retirement, returns to live in Kosovo.

Figure 2.5 Emigration by age-groups expressed in percentage

In proportion to resident population in Kosovo, active labor force age was predominant among Kosovan migrant population.

2.1.7 Emigration by years

A part of respondents did not provide clear information on the year when their household members moved out of Kosovo (especially for those who moved abroad before the 1990s, because they could not remember the exact year when it happened). After this cluster on the years of migration (which is the largest), it can be clearly noted that the largest migration abroad happened in the 1990s, reaching its peak during the war in 1998-99, when 51,728 residents were reported to have emigrated (respectively 21,973 and 29,755) accounting for 13.6% of all Kosovan migrants.

A part of those individuals who moved to other countries during the war in Kosovo, are still living in those countries. The years 1992 (6.03%) and 1990 (4.9%) are also characterized by a massive migration from Kosovo. 2001 is characterized by a lower migration rate around 1.7%, closely followed by the years 1986 and 1985.

Figure 2.6 Emigration by years expressed in absolute numbers 1969-2010

Based on this data, it is estimated that the push factor for a significant number of Kosovan population who emigrated was the political situation in Kosovo at that time (1990 and 1998-1999).

25PAGE


2.1.8 Emigration periodsDepending on the circumstances, it appears that by municipalities the Kosovan population emigrated in various periods. Thus, it appears that from three municipalities with high migration rate, the population was forced to migrate abroad in different periods for various reasons (lack of political-economic security).

It appears that migration of people from Gjakova began immediately after the abolishment of Kosovo’s autonomy (1989), reaching its peak in 1990 with around 8%, Mitrovica after the 1990’s, where the greatest flow was in 1992 with around 11% of migration from this municipality. These two municipalities had the largest number of employees in public sectors/institutions until the early 90’s when they lost their jobs.

Figure 2.7 Emigration by years from three municipalities with the largest number of migrants

While the population from Pristina, Gjakova, Mitrovica, Gjilan, Prizren and Peja emigrated predominantly before 2000, the population from Malisheva and Suha Reka continue to have a high migration rate especially after 2000 (phase III of the New Diaspora).

Figure 2.8 Emigration by time periods (before and after 2000)

In recent years, the migration abroad has decreased and it was 10-12 thousand migrants. This figure corresponds with the rate of 6 migrants per one thousand residents (in comparison, in 2011 the equivalent indicator for Italy was estimated to be around 5.3 persons per one thousand residents).

26PAGE


2.1.9 Reasons for emigration In this context, besides the fact that great mobility is a feature of modern society, historically, there were also other reasons that imposed the departure of a part of Kosovo’s population towards other countries. It is considered that the main reasons were :

- Economic and social reasons, in all time periods .

- Political reasons,in time periods before 1999.

From the answers provided on the questions on the main reasons why their household members had emigrated, it appeared that strong family ties of Kosovan population were among the main reasons for migration: almost half of the responses indicate that the main reason for emigration were family reasons (usually marriage or family reunification). Then, there were migrants who emigrated for economic (employment) reasons, which comprised of 38% of the total number. Emigration due to the war (around 8%) is also very significant.

Figure 2.9 Main reasons for international emigration for the period 1969-2010 (expressed in percentage)

The Kosovo Agency of Statistics (during 2013) had officially requested data from the ten leading countries where the Kosovan Diaspora was concentrated, on the number of Kosovans and the number of population that was of Kosovan origin. The data delivered by these countries indicated a lower number of Kosovan population and Kosovan origin population in comparison with the data collected during 2011 Population Census.

KAS has addressed this issue and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to collect data on the number of Kosovans living abroad through the Kosovo Embassies. This was vital as it was not possible to collect data due to the lack of a registry on the Kosovan Diaspora.

27PAGE


2.2 International immigration According to the 2011 Population Census data, in Kosovo there were 128,808 immigrants (arrived), which comprised 7.4% of the population. Around 97% of immigrants had Kosovan citizenship; therefore, the vast majority of immigrants in fact were returnees to their country. Taking into account the citizenship of its residents, Kosovo is fairly homogeneous country. 98.6% of respondents who responded to 2011 Population Census were Kosovo citizens.

2.2.1 Intrenational immigration by years

The largest number of immigrants (returned-arrived) in Kosovo was recorded in 1999 and 2000. Thus, in 1999, 15,688 residents immigrated to Kosovo, while in 2000 the largest number of immigrants ever recorded in Kosovo, 19,977 residents, was recorded. As a result of the agreement reached between Kosovo and several countries on repatriation of Kosovans, a large immigration flow was also recorded in 2010.

The lowest number of immigrants (returnees) was in 1991 and 1994, of 1.37% and 1.57% respectively.

Figure 2.10 International immigration in Kosovo by years, >1989-2011

International immigration has great influence on fluctuations in population number and on its geographic distribution. The immigration rate clearly shows the impact of these immigrations in the municipality of destination. The largest number of immigrants was concentrated in the municipalities of: Pristina, Prizren, and Gjilan, while a lower number was recorded in municipalities with a small population.

2.2.2 Proportion of immigration with the resident population in Kosovo

In proportion with the number of resident population in Kosovo, Junik had the largest rate of immigrants (returnees) over 25% of Junik’s population. Fushë Kosova had around 14%, Deçan had over 13%, and Gjilan had over 12% of resident population immigrated as returnees. These immigrations also affected the internal structure of resident population regarding demographic and socio-economic composition.

2.2.3 Immigration by countries

Regarding the country of origin, 60% of persons with the most recent place of residence outside Kosovo were from: Germany, Serbia, and Switzerland.

Figure 2.13 International immigration by countries, expressed in percentage

In terms of sex, the immigrant population was characterized by a predominance of males with 61% compared to 39% of females. This predominance of males (immigration) was related to the fact that early migration included mostly males who had emigrated alone, while nowadays they are returning home to their families after their retirement or other reasons.

While the phenomenon of readmission and returning to Kosovo is clear and evidence for it has been provided, it is evident that the country continues to experience an international migration abroad. Per each returnee, there are two residents who emigrate to live abroad.

KOSOVAN MIGRATION - CHAPTER III

3. NATIONAL MIGRATION (INTERNAL)

Based on the 2011 Population Census data, Kosovo’s population can be described as a migratory population. Migration data collected during the census was related to the recent changes of settlement/municipality, whenever they occurred.

Out of 1,739,825 persons enumerated in total in the Population Census (April 2011), 517.992 thousand persons, or around 30% of them, had experienced at least one migration.

Such a number of migrations, around 30%, represents the ability of the population to adapt to various living conditions, and shows cultural enrichment of a person, which can be an asset for the whole country.

% 65.9 38.5 73.0 76.8

This number includes only persons who have migrated and not other family members who were born in new place of residence.

Explanation for data users: a person born in Gjilan, who has migrated (moved) to live in Pristina before 1, 5, 10, 20, 30 or more years, during Population Census 2011 has been counted as resident population in Pristina and not in her/his place of birth (in this case not in Gjilan). Their children, who were born in Pristina, are not considered internal migrants; because they have not immigrated to any place: their domicile, or usual place of residence, was Pristina. A person born in Gjilan is an internal migrant, in this case departing from Gjilan and arriving to Pristina

Kosovo Agency of Statistics has used this standard definition (on national and international migration) during the Population Census conducted in April 2011 on resident population of a settlement.

54PAGE


This internal rural to urban migration in Kosovo has resulted in overpopulation of several urban and suburban areas and under-population in rural, mainly mountainous and hilly areas. The data show that in recent years we have a new redistribution of population within Kosovo and municipalities.

Various factors mentioned above (see: why people migrate) affected such a movement, including lack of basic infrastructure in rural areas (roads, sewage system, piped water) for a long period of time. Nevertheless, in recent years the infrastructure in rural areas has significantly improved.

In the questionnaire applied during the population census 5 main reasons that have contributed to the internal migration were included. Responses can be seen in the table below:

Education & training purposes 2.8

Family 73.4

War 1998-‘99 4.5

Other 13.5

In the analysis and in the following tables on internal migration only persons who had migrated in territorial terms from one municipality to another are included, since migration within a municipality does not pose any significant change in terms of population-depopulation of municipality and in other social-economic or political aspects.

55PAGE


3.1.1 INTERNAL EMIGRATION

As noted above, internal migration refers departure of population from a settlement, municipality, or region) within national borders, from the perspective of the community of origin.

3.1.2 Migration from Kosovo municipalities

For various reasons mentioned above, a significant number of Kosovo’s population during their life had internally migrated from one municipality to another municipality. Thus, the data indicate that over 15,700 residents moved out from the municipality of Podujeva, 15,600 residents moved from Prishtina, while the population of nationally emigrated residents of the municipality of Kamenica was over 10,800 residents.

Figure 3.1 Internal Migration from Kosovo’s municipalities

The largest amount of internal migration in relation to the number of resident inhabitants was: Kamenica, where 10,815 or 30% of the total of 36,085 residents have emigrated to other Kosovo municipalities, then the municipality of Shtërpce with 22.7%, and Obiliq with 22.4%. This data indicates that these municipalities are losing a significant portion of their population (negative net migration).

56PAGE


Figure 3.2 National emigration in proportion with the resident population by municipalities, expressed in percentage

The population of Pristina migrated mainly to adjacent municipalities, as these new urban areas and business areas provided housing and employment. It appears that marriages have increased the population in adjacent municipalities of Pristina.

The largest number of migrant population from Pristina was concentrated or settled in municipalities of: Fushë Kosova 24.2%, Podujeva 13 % and Obiliq 7.2%

Figure 3.3 Internal Migration in proportion with the resident population by municipalities, expressed in percentage

57PAGE


3.2.1 NATIONAL IMMIGRATIONInternal immigration is arrival of population to a settlement, municipality or region, within the country borders from a different settlement, municipality or region from the perspective of the receiving community.

3.2.2 Immigration from Kosovo municipalities

From the total population that emigrated within national borders from one municipality to another (196,429 residents), Pristina is the largest beneficiary with around 45,905 residents, in other words, over 23.1 % of Pristina’s population arrived from another municipality). The municipalities that have mostly benefited from immigration from other municipalities Kosovo, after Pristina, are: Prizren with 7.98%, Ferizaj 6.79 %, Gjilan with 5.31% and Fushë Kosova with 4.74%.

Figure 3.4 The share of immigrant population (arrived) from other municipalities

Municipalities which benefited mostly from migration in proportion to the number of the residents were: Fushë Kosova 26.8%, Kllokot 26.5%, Graçanica 25.4 % and Pristina 23.1%.

Figure 3.5 Internal migration, arrivals, in municipalities in proportion to resident population

58PAGE


It is interesting to note that out of the total number of internal migrants who had moved to Pristina (45,905 residents) were not from big municipalities, but from adjacent municipalities of Pristina, which by the number of residents can be listed among medium size municipalities, such as: Podujeva 27.88%, Kamenica 7.18% and Vushtrri 6.73%.

Figure 3.6 Internal migration to Pristina from other Kosovo municipalities

The years with the largest number of internal migrants moving to Pristina were 1999 with 9.8%, 2000 with 6.5%, and 2010 with 6%.

Breakdown in 5 year periods shows that in the recent years the largest number of internal migrants to Pristina was in the period 2006-2011.

Figure 3.7 Internal migration to Pristina from other municipalities by time periods

AAccording to Census data of over 165 thousand residents 9.3% of Kosovo’s population aged over 10 years has declared that they were attending school or working far from their home (commuters).

The capital of Kosovo, Pristina is the main center of state administration, labor, education, and health services

59PAGE


and as such many workers move to Pristina during working days. According to official data from the 2011 Population Census, it can be noted that habitual daily labor migration was high. During the Census, 56,000 persons declared that they migrate (commute) to Pristina on a daily basis. This figure includes people who arrive in Pristina daily, or every couple of days, for an ad-hoc business such as family visits, medical visits, to retrieve a document, work on an ad-hoc basis, part time education, entertainment, recreation, transit passing, and other factors that remain important for these individuals. This significantly increases the number of persons entering/exiting Pristina compared to the number of its resident population.

3.3 Internal Migration Balance 14 municipalities had a positive internal migration balance. Municipalities which mostly benefited from this migration were: Graçanica, Kllokot, Fushë Kosova and Pristina, while higher negative balance of internal migration occurred in the municipalities of: Kamenica, Podujeva, Skenderaj and Dragash. Three municipalities (except Skenderaj) lie in border zone with neighboring countries that could have an impact on migration from these border zones.

Other municipalities have more limited population changes, due to internal migration: in Istog, Gjakova and Peja the migration balance was lower than 2%, indicating that the push and pull factors are more or less equal in these areas.

3.4 Total migration balance (international / national)Large population movements in recent decades have affected the total number of resident population in Kosovo’s municipalities. The largest losses from migration were reflected especially in the municipalities of: Suha Reka, Klina, Mitrovica, Skenderaj, and Kamenica, while the municipalities that benefited the most from population migration were: Graçanica, Junik, Kllokot, Fushë Kosova, and Pristina. The following table shows the total balance of international and internal migration at the municipality level in Kosovo.

KOSOVAN MIGRATION - CHAPTER IV

4.KOSOVAN POPULATION/ WITH KOSOVO ORIGIN

According to official data, the population Kosovo in April 2011 was 1,780,645 residents. The Kosovan migrant population, that was registered-counted in the ‘’supplementary list on household members living outside of Kosovo (FORM S1), applied in the 2011 Population Census, in total, was 380,826 residents.

According to KAS’ estimates (based on vital statistics, natural growth, fertility, the KAS’ surveys in previous years, 2011 Population Census, population projections 2011 - 2061) starting from 1969 , the representative number of the Kosovan population who had emigrated from Kosovo (from all communities) until April 2011 was estimated to be around 550.000 residents . Therefore, KAS will use this number as the basis when accounting Kosovo’s migrant population in the period 1969-2011, while in the future it will update the emigration data based on available data, respecting the best practices.

If children born outside of Kosovo, with at least one Kosovan parent, are included, the population of the Kosovo Diaspora will be significantly greater. Based on the rate of population growth and the tradition of Kosovan families, three variants of natural growth have been used for estimation (counting) of the population born outside of Kosovo.

According to the estimates, the rate of natural growth of Kosovan families living abroad (children born abroad) was almost constant (parallel) with the rate of natural growth in Kosovo. Since the population abroad had younger age-groups (young reproductive age emigrates more) natural growth may be slightly higher. However, other factors, such as: delayed marriage and a smaller number of children (of population outside of Kosovo), led to the approximation of the rate of natural growth abroad being similar to the natural growth in Kosovo. We have done the potential evaluation of the natural growth of the population of Kosovo born abroad with three variants for the period between 1969 and 2011

.

• According to the high variant of natural growth, the number of children born outside of Kosovo (1969-2011) by Kosovan migrants was estimated to be 172,520 children.

• According to the medium variant, the number of children born outside of Kosovo was estimated to be 153,978 children.

• According to the low variant, the number of children born outside Kosovo was estimated to be 112,625 children

KAS will use, for its needs as a representative value, the medium variant of natural growth which is 153,978 children born outside of Kosovo. Thus, the emigrated population of Kosovo and the population with Kosovan origin (1969-2011) was estimated to be around 703,978 residents

Important note

It is international standard, criteria, and practice to include the population of a country of only persons living within the country or residents (persons who have been settled there for more than a year or intend to reside there for more than a year).

This is due to the fact that all calculations of indicators in statistical terms are done for the resident population on calculations on: gender, age-group, fertility rate, level of education, employment, unemployment, the calculation of GDP, allocation of municipal budget, grants, donors, planning for kindergarten, schools, universities, planning of transportation, tourism, social aspect of housing conditions, heating, water supply, electricity, sewage system, and many other services.

If the Kosovan population living within Kosovo and the population with Kosovan origin living abroad were included in the resident population of Kosovo then all calculations based on those data (figures) would present biased figures.

Thus, if GDP per capita includes all Kosovans living worldwide, than Kosovo would be the poorest country in the planet. If children born abroad were included in these statistics, then planning for kindergartens, schools, and other institutions which they may attend, would not be realistic.

In addition, Kosovans living abroad are included in the population of the country where they live. Indeed, the main purpose of the population census was to determine the profile of residents of the country in order to assess the needs of the citizens of the country.

Therefore, the Population Census conducted in 2011 has followed international standards where the main goal of the countries during the population census is to enumerate the resident population.

Because the data on emigration is very much needed, in spite of all criteria, Kosovo applied a supplementary form for collecting data on the migrant population of Kosovo.
