According to statistics presented by the head of UNICEF office in Pristina, Laila Omar Gad, six out of ten children in Kosovo have experienced violence and while the government has improved legal infrastructure, it needs to invest more in children. Gad made the comments in a conference in Pristina about the findings of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS). “Kosovo has a young population with 34 percent being under the age of 18 and half of the population under the age of 24. While Kosovo continues to experience economic growth, it is important for this to translate in a more adequate way in growing investments, especially in children,” said Gad who added further that for instance, public spending in healthcare in Kosovo remains the lowest in the region. At the same time, Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Kujtim Shala said that one of key government’s priorities is education of younger generations while Isa Krasniqi, head of the Kosovo Statistics Agency said that the MICS project was the first of its kind in Kosovo and its findings will be of use to the agency’s staff.
