Demographics of Kosovo

(Redirected from 2011 Census in Kosovo)

The Kosovo Agency of Statistics monitors various demographic features of the population of Kosovo, such as population density, ethnicity, education level, health of the populace, economic status, religious affiliations and other aspects of the population. Censuses, normally conducted at ten-year intervals, record the demographic characteristics of the population. The latest census started on 5th of April 2024 and according to the preliminary results, the Republic of Kosovo has 1,586,659 inhabitants, of which 795,046 are men (50.1%) and 791,614 are women (49.9%).[13] The same year, US CIA World Factbook estimate put the country's population at 1,977,093.[12] According to the first census conducted after the 2008 declaration of independence in 2011, the permanent population of Kosovo was 1,810,366.[14]

The 2011 census also shows that Albanians form the majority in Kosovo, with about 93% of the total population; significant minorities include Bosniaks (1.6%), Serbs (1.5%) and others.[12] However, it excluded North Kosovo—a largely Serb-inhabited region.[12] Moreover, it was partially boycotted by Romani and Serb communities in South Kosovo.[12] After Albanians, Serbs form the largest ethnic community in Kosovo (6–7%).[7][8][9][10][11][12]

Kosovo has the youngest population in Europe. As of 2024, the average age is 34.8 and median age is 32.[13][12] In 2008, half of its population was under the age of 25 (United Nations Development Programme data) and more than 65 percent of the population was younger than 30 (government data).[15]

2011 census

edit

The 2011 census recorded Kosovo (excluding North Kosovo) as having 1,739,825 inhabitants.[16] The European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) has called "for caution when referring to the 2011 census", due to the boycott by Serb-majority municipalities in North Kosovo and the large boycott by Serbs and Roma in southern Kosovo.[17] The recorded total population was below most previous estimates. The census enjoyed considerable technical assistance from international agencies and appears to have been endorsed by Eurostat; it was, however, the first full census since 1981, and not one of an uninterrupted series. The results show that there were no people temporarily resident in hotels or refugee camps at the time of the census;[18] that out of 312,711 conventional dwellings, 99,808 (over 30%) were unoccupied;[18] and that three municipalities designed[clarification needed] under the Ahtisaari Plan to have Serb majorities – Klokot, Novo Brdo, and Štrpce – in fact had ethnic Albanian majorities (although their municipal assemblies have Serb majorities).[18]

Population estimates in the table below may be unreliable during the 1990s period. Besides, vital statistics do not fully include data from Serb-majority territories. Since 2011, in accordance with European statistical norms, live births and deaths record figures in Kosovo only (excluding foreign countries).

Ethnic groups

edit

The official results of the censuses in Kosovo after World War II are tabulated below. The figures for Albanians in the 1991 census were estimates only, since that census was boycotted by most Albanians. Similarly, the figures for Serbs in the 2011 census omit those in North Mitrovica, Leposavić, Zubin Potok and Zvečan (North Kosovo), while the number of Serbs and Romani in the rest of Kosovo is also deemed unreliable, due to the partial boycott.[17]

Ethnic groups by municipality

edit

The results of the 2011 census of ethnic groups in municipalities are tabulated below.[39]

 
Ethnic composition of Kosovo in 2005 according to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe

The 2000 Living Standard Measurement Survey by Statistical Office of Kosovo found an ethnic composition of the population as follows:

A more comprehensive (October 2002) estimate (for the 1.9 million inhabitants) for these years:

During the Kosovo War in 1999, around 700,000 ethnic Albanians,[40] over 100,000 ethnic Serbs and more than 40,000 Bosniaks were forced out of Kosovo to neighbouring Albania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Serbia. After the United Nations took over administration of Kosovo following the war, the vast majority of the Albanian refugees returned.[citation needed] The largest diaspora communities of Kosovo Albanians are in Switzerland and Austria accounting for some 200,000 individuals each, or for 20% of the population resident in Kosovo.

Many non-Albanians – chiefly Serbs and Romani – fled or were expelled, mostly to the rest of Serbia at the end of the war, with further refugee outflows occurring as the result of sporadic ethnic violence. As of 2002, the number of registered refugees was around 250,000.[41][42][43] The non-Albanian population in Kosovo is now about half of its pre-war total[citation needed]. The largest concentration of Serbs in the country is in the north, but many remain in Kosovo Serb enclaves surrounded by Albanian-populated areas.

Languages

edit
 
Linguistic structure according to the 2011 census
See also: Minority languages of Kosovo

As defined by the Constitution of Kosovo, Albanian and Serbian are official languages in Kosovo. According to the 2011 census, almost 95% of the citizens speak Albanian as their native language, followed by South Slavic languages and Turkish. Due to North Kosovo's boycott of the census, Bosnian came in as the second-largest language after Albanian. However, Serbian is in reality the second-most spoken language in Kosovo.

Language Native speakers[44] %
Albanian 1,644,865 94.5
Bosnian 28,989 1.7
Serbian 27,983 1.6
Turkish 19,568 1.1
Romani 5,860 0.3
Other/Not specified 12,560 0.7

Health

edit

Healthcare in Kosovo Harvard Medical School and NATO published a study on the impact of the conflict on Kosovo health system in 2014.[45] The data in the table below are from the Kosovo Agency of Statistics.

Migration

edit
See also: Albanian diaspora

According to a 2015 report by Geoba.se, Kosovo's current net migration rate is at −3.72, ranking Kosovo 197th,[46] due to the ongoing political and economic crisis. The same source gives −0.71 for the 2023 estimate.

Religion

edit
Main article: Religion in Kosovo
See also: Secularism in Kosovo

The country has no official religion. The constitution establishes Kosovo as a secular state that is neutral in matters of religious beliefs and where everyone is equal before the law and freedom to belief, conscience and religion is guaranteed.[47][48]

The 2011 Kosovo population census was largely boycotted by the Kosovo Serbs (who predominantly identify as Serbian Orthodox Christians), especially in North Kosovo,[49] leaving the Serb population underrepresented.[50] The results of the 2011 census gave the following religious affiliations for the population included in it:[51]

Almost all Muslims in Kosovo are Sunni Muslim.[52] Sufism is quite present.[52]

The Serb population is largely Serbian Orthodox. The Catholic Albanian communities are mostly concentrated in Gjakova, Prizren, Klina and a few villages near Peć and Vitina (see laramans). Slavic-speaking Catholics usually call themselves Janjevci or Kosovan Croats. Slavic-speaking Muslims in the south of Kosovo are known as the Gorani people.

Internally displaced persons

edit

According to the US CIA, as of 2022, there were 16000 internally displaced persons, primarily Serbs displaced during the Kosovo War.[12] Also, a smaller number of Serbs, Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptians fled their homes in 2004 as a result of violence.[12]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Due to political issues, Serbs have avoided participating in the population censuses conducted by the Republic of Kosovo. The 2011 census is therefore inaccurate to explain the real demographic spread in Kosovo. Serbs form the second largest ethnic group in Kosovo, after Albanians. Estimates explains that Serbs hold 6-7% of the population.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
  2. ^ a b c d e f Due to the boycott of the 2011 census by most municipalities in the Serb-inhabited north (see North Kosovo), the real number of the population of Leposavić, North Mitrovica, Zubin Potok and Zvečan is unknown. Estimates are taken according to a 2014 OSCE report.[35][36][37][38]
