National Human Development Report (NHDR) 2009 – Social Exclusion in Montenegro

In the presence of representatives of the government, non-governmental sector, academia, international organizations, embassies, unions, employers, etc., the UNDP and the President of Montenegro have inaugurated the National Human Development Report (NHDR) 2009: Montenegro – Society for All on October 13, 2009. To support Montenegro in fighting social exclusion and moving towards EU accession, UNDP Montenegro has prepared a comprehensive analysis on the current situation of social exclusion and poverty trends in terms of challenges, opportunities and responses for addressing social exclusion issues. 

The Report is the first comprehensive social exclusion study in Montenegro, interpreted through the lens of human development. The Report is based on quantitative and qualitative research conducted by Institute for Strategic Studies and Prognoses (ISSP), and inputs from public discussions, experts. The report contains many disaggregated data including the following data: Social Exclusion Index, Laeken indicators, poverty rates and profiles (absolute rates), Human Development Indexes, Quality of Life indicators, inequality measures, etc.. In addition, the Report provides analyses of the six socially vulnerable groups: long-term unemployed, persons with disabilities, low-income pensioners, social welfare beneficiaries, RAE and displaced persons - ‘measuring’ the gap between marginalized groups and the mainstream society.
