FOREWORD

Dear readers,

The Government of Montenegro, MONSTAT and UNICEF share a commitment to improving knowledge and understanding of the situation of children in Montenegro and ensuring that kno-wledge is used to develop national action to ensure better outcomes for all of our children.

The “Children in Montenegro” booklet contributes to strength-ening knowledge on children by consolidating key data on the situation of children obtained by 2011 Census of Population, Households and Dwellings.

We are confident that the key decision makers at national and local level will find in this book useful information about the problems that our children are coping with, which will help them identify the most effective solutions.

According to the 2011 Census, in Montenegro, 5% of children aged from 6 to 17 years, i.e. 5,313 of them do not attend school. 443 children aged from 15 to 17 years are labour active while 187 of them are employed. 310 children aged from 15 to 17 years are married, and 69% of them are girls.

These and other data from the publication “Children in Monte-negro” clearly show that childhood experience in our country is diverse. We are pleased to see that for most children it is a period of play, learning, socialising in school and growing up in a warm family environment. However, we are concerned that for some, childhood is broken by not going to school or facing challenges of the adults’ world prematurely and un-prepared such as early marriage and taking care of children, employment and so on.

Every society is responsible for enabling every child to de-velop to his or her full potential. Our intention is, through this publication, to stimulate public dialogue based on statistically reliable data needed for the development of effective policies. Our goal is to contribute to the changes that will enable every child in Montenegro to develop to his or her full potential. As society and as individuals we owe that to our children.

The Census of Population, Households and Dwellin-

gs (hereinafter referred to as the “Census”) was conducted in Montenegro in the period from 1st to 15th April 2011.

The Census was conducted according to the situation on 31st March 2011 at 24:00, whi-ch is considered as the refer-ent moment of the Census. Immediately after the Census was finished, a quality control of the Census was performed on a representative sample of enumeration areas in order to evaluate the coverage and quality of data collected by the Census. The first results of the control indicate full co-

verage of Census units. The Census was conducted in a traditional manner using the interview method, on a door-to-door principle. Interviews with respondents were per-formed by enumerators.

A Census, in accordance with international recommendati-ons, conducted every ten years, is a process of collect-ing, processing, and publish-ing demographic, economic, educational, migration, eth-no-cultural, and social data related to the population of the country in a certain peri-od. Also, the Census provides data on the number of house-

holds and dwellings, and their characteristics.

The preparation, organisation and conducting of the Census are based on principles of rel-evance, impartiality, transpar-ency, timeliness, professional independence, rationality, con-sistency, publicity, statistical confidentiality, and usage of personal data exclusively for statistical purposes.

The Census was conducted in accordance with the Law on the Census of the Population, Households, and Dwellings in 20111, and Methodology for the Preparation, Organisation, and Conducting of the Census (hereinafter referred to as the “Methodology”). The Meth-odology is fully harmonised with international standards which determine common rules on collecting population data, and the most important ones are:

The Conference of Euro- pean Statisticians’ Reco-mmendations for the 2010

Censuses of Population and Housing, prepared in cooperation with the UN Economic Commission for Europe and Statistical Office of the European Communities - EURO-STAT;

Regulation (EC) No 763/ 2008 of the European Parliament, and of the EU Council on population and housing censuses, and

Regulation (EC) No 1201/ 2009 on implementing Regulation (EC) No 763/ 2008 of the European Parliament and of the EU Council on population and housing censuses regarding the technical specifications of the top- ics and of their break-downs.

The units of the census are population, households, and dwellings.

The Census covers citizens of

Montenegro, citizens of Mon-tenegro and foreign citizens, foreign citizens and persons without citizenship (stateless persons) who have residence (permanent or temporary) in Montenegro, irrespective of whether they are at the mo-ment of the Census in Mon-tenegro or abroad, irrespec-tive of whether they possess personal identification docu-ments at the moment of the Census or not, and irrespec-tive of whether they live in a dwelling, other type of build-ing or in public areas.

The population refers to per-sons whose usual place of residence is in Montenegro. The usual place of residence is the place where a person usually resides regardless of temporary absence for the purposes of recreation, holi-day, visits to friends or rela-tives, business, medical treat-ment or religious pilgrimage; as well as the place where a person has been resident continuously, at least from 1 April 2010, or he/she has

arrived in that place later but with the intention of staying there at least for one year. The Methodology is prepared so as to ensure that every per-son has only one usual place of residence. In the interna-tional context this is impor-tant in order to avoid there being individuals included in the total population number in several countries or not included at all. Actually, the main objective of the Census is to determine the exact nu-mber of people who live and use the infrastructure of a particular geographic area.

Data on age was obtained from a statement about the respondent’s date of birth.

The data about age is prese-nted by the years of age alre-ady reached. This means that, for example, the age interval from 5 to 9 years of age inclu-des people who have reached 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 years.

The data on marital status is

received based on the state-ment of the person on his/her legal marital status, regard-less of the “de facto” situation.Marital status is presented for the population aged 15 years or older.

The data on citizenship is col-lected on the basis of the res-ponses on citizenship. All da-ta is received only based on the statement of the person, without checking personal documentation.

Knowledge of foreign langu-ages is defined as the ability of a person to understand, speak, read, and write a cer-tain foreign language. Data is collected for up to three fore-ign languages. All data is rece-ived exclusively based on a respondent’s statement.

Computer literacy is defined as the ability to use basic com-puter applications for perfor-ming daily tasks. In reference to this, the data collected rel-ated to the ability to use pro-gramme applications – word

processing and spreadsheet applications, an Internet bro-wser and e-mail client. A person able to apply all four mentioned applications is co-nsidered computer literate. Those who are able to use one, two or three applications but not all four of them are considered partially computer literate. Those who are not able to use any of the menti-oned applications are consi-dered computer illiterate. The answer was collected on the basis of the respondent’s statement.

The 2011 Census collected data related to the economic activity of the person, i.e. acti-vities carried out by a person in the period from 25th to 31st March 2011, the week preced-ing the census. The response was collected from persons aged 15 years and older, and on the basis of their statement.

In the census any person in the week preceding the cen-sus (from 25 to 31 March 2011) is considered employed who:

performed any kind of regular or usual work for wage/profit (in cash, goods or services) for at least one hour or any kind of unpaid work (in a com- pany, professional prac-tice or agricultural farm in the possession of any member of his/her fami-ly), or

has not worked (due to illness, vacation, state or religious holiday, educa-tion, training, maternity leave, reduced production or other temporary inabi-lity to work), but he/she has a job to which he/she will return.

In the census a person is con-sidered unemployed who:

in the week before the census (from 25 to 31 Ma- rch 2011) did not work, but he/she was actively looking for a job during March 2011 (four weeks before the census), and he/she is ready to start working during the fol-lowing two weeks.

Active population refers to any employed or unem-ployed person aged 15 years or over.

Fertility is a generally pre-sented and well known term coming from the Latin word “fertilities” and it means “fertility, ability to give birth”. Fertile age is the age in life of a woman when she is biologi-cally able to give birth, and it is scientifically defined as the period from 15-49 years. Cer-tainly, there are women who can give birth and do give birth before 15 or after 49.

The Census collected data on the total number of live-born children including chil-dren who were not alive at the moment of the Census. This question referred only to female individuals aged 15 years or more, regardless of their marital status.

The Census collected data on school attendance for any person regardless of age.

Demographical data, par-ticularly on age and gen-

der, is crucial for understanding the distribution of edu cational, social, employment and health indicators and op-portunities across the entire population.

To obtain data on age, the census collected information on date of birth. Data collec-tion on the date of birth en-ables tabulation in two ways: by year of birth and by age reached. Although UN and Eurostat recommendations foresee the case where the data on age is missing and for this eventuality the data

should be afterwards entered on the basis of other data on people or households, the Statistical Office of Montene-gro did not use this imputa-tion method or method of inserting the data on age.

Children, the young, and eld-erly people are recognised as separate population catego-ries for which different types of census data is requested. Thus, for example, for chil-dren’s and young people’s education, this data is of key importance, while for adults, data on economic activity is more relevant. The example mentioned and all other char-

acteristics collected by the census become more useful if they are cross-referenced with gender and age. It is important to note that recom-mended age groups were used so that the data can be compared spatially and by time.

According to the 2011 Popula-tion Census, 145 126 children

up to 18 years of age live in Montenegro. Their share of the total population is 23.4%.

The percentages in the chart below refer to the share of children in the total popula-tion according the data from the 2003 and 2011 Censuses. Comparing the two census years, the conclusion is that there was a decrease in the

share of children in the total population in 2011 compared with 2003 in all municipali-ties. The difference, i.e. the decrease in the share of chil-dren in the total population is highest in Danilovgrad (5%), Cetinje and Plav (4%). The lowest decrease of almost 1% is in Berane.

According to the 2011 Census data, the share of children in the total population by municipality indicates that in Rozaje almost one-third of

the population consists of children aged 18 years or less.Then come Plav with 27%, Berane with 26%, Bijelo Polje and Podgorica with 25% of children in the total popula-tion. The lowest number of children (18%) is found in the municipalities of Pluzine, Cet-inje, Savnik and Zabljak.

In 2011, the share of children was higher in the following six municipalities: Rozaje, Plav,Berane, Bijelo Polje, Podgor-ica, and Ulcinj, than in Monte-

negro as a whole. All the other municipalities, fifteen of them, have a lower share of children in the total populati-on, than the country average.

In 2003, the share of children in the total population was 25.3%, and eight municipali-ties had a higher-than-aver-age share compared to the whole country, which are:

Mojkovac, Danilovgrad, Podgorica, Berane, Ulcinj, Bijelo Polje, Plav and Rozaje.

The share of population of age under 18 in the total pop-ulation is decreasing. Accord-ingly, in 2003, the share of children in the total population was 25.3%, while this percent-age in 2011 was 23.4%. A de-crease in the number of chil-

dren, from 156 683 to 145 126, was recorded both in terms of percentage and absolute number. In other words, there were 11 557 less children in 2011 compared with the data from the census conducted eight years earlier.

In 2003, the municipalities of Rozaje and Plav were recog-nized as the municipalities with the highest percentage of children out of the total population, i.e. 34% and 31% respectively. The 2011 Cen-sus characterised only Ro-

zaje in this manner, although this municipality indicated a decrease in the number of children from 34% down to 32%, meaning that a third of the inhabitants of Rozaje are aged 18 years or less. In mu-nicipalities of Pljevlja, Zabljak, Savnik, Pluzine and Cetinje, the percentage of children out of the total population is less than 20% according to the 2011 Census, while this was not the case in 2003.

The data on age structure from the 2011 Census con-

firms the vital statistics pro-duced by the Statistical Office of Montenegro, which show a growth in the birth rate in the last five years. In both census years when observing age structure, children are on average older. More children under five years of age are recorded in the 2011 Census than in the 2003 Census, but,

there were more children aged 15 years and over in 2003 than in 2011.

The 2011 Census indicated fe-wer children of all individual years of age compared with the 2003 Census.

Out of the total population, older children are more rep-

resented. Thus, children of age: 17, 16 or 15 have a share of more than 6%. There is a constant decrease of 5% in the proportion of children un-der 1 year of age. The lowest share of children is visible among children in their first year (4.9%).

The size of individual age groups in the total children population did not significan-tly fluctuate in period betwe-en the two censuses.The average age of popula-

tion in 2003 was 35.9 years, and in 2011 it was 37.2 years. The average age of children did not change from 2003, and it was 9 years.

The gender structure indicates that there are more boys than girls in the observed popula-tion. The total number of boys is 75 367, and the total num-ber of girls is 69 759. While the majority of the total popu-lation are women with 51%, the majority in the observed population (children under 18

years of age) are boys, with 52%. In 2003, there were 107 boys per 100 girls, and in 2011, 108 boys.

The changes noticed between the two censuses in munici-palities with a small popula-tion may be caused by so-called “small numbers”, and relative indicators show large variations but in real, absolu-te terms, the differences can be very small.

In the majority of municipali-ties in Montenegro there are more boys than girls. In 2003, the largest difference was in Kotor, where there were 110 boys per 100 girls; then in Bu-dva, Danilovgrad and Podgor-ica: 109; and in Herceg Novi and Rozaje there were 108 boys per 100 girls.

In 2011, a larger difference was noticed in Bar, Danilov-grad, Herceg Novi and Rozaje with 111 boys per 100 girls; in Danilovgrad and Berane, 110; in Budva, Kotor, Mojkovac and Podgorica, 109 boys per 100

girls. The composition of populati-on by gender is defined, amo-ng other things, by the propo-rtion of boys and girls out of the total number of live-born children. Such high values of masculinity rates defined in Montenegro in live births are explained by: a decrease in fertility; the wish of parents to have a son at any cost; and by progress in ultrasound me-thods – which has enabled sex-selective abortion on the grounds of the sex of unborn babies (Pison, 2004).

Large differences in the gen-der structure of children by municipality require further review and may be the sub-ject of a special analysis and survey with a focus on the causes of this phenomenon. A detailed analysis of this phe-nomenon would provide an explanation of results discov-ered by the census.

In the total children populati-on, as well as in all national,

i.e. ethnic, groups there are higher percentages of boys than girls. Only among chil-dren whose national affiliation was not declared, are there more girls than boys.

The highest difference is in

the Egyptian population, i.e. 116 boys per 100 girls, then among Serbs - 110 boys per 100 girls. The smallest differ-ence in the gender structure of children is among Croats, where there are 103 boys per 100 girls.

The term education refers to all deliberate, system-

atic and organized action or process of teaching someone especially in a school or uni-versity. Most education takes place in schools or universiti-es (or their equivalents), but it can be provided outside these institutions. Data on school attendance was collected by the Census.

School attendance is defined as regular attendance at any accredited educational insti-tution or programme, public or private, for organised lear-ning at any level of education. Instruction in a particular skill, which is not part of the rec-ognised educational structure of the country (for example

in-service training courses in factories), is not considered "school attendance" for cen-sus purposes. Data on school attendance refers to the time of the census, i.e. 31 March 2011.

Although data on school at-tendance was collected by the 2003 Census, this data was never published, and that information was only used in processing and data control on the “highest achieved level of education”. However, this publication will present for the first time the 2003 Census data on school attendance in order to compare it with the findings in this area of the 2011 Census.

The concept of school atten-dance is different from, but complementary to, that of en-rolment as normally covered by annual school statistics. Attendance means the day-to-day presence of participants at an institution of learning. Enrolment refers to the formalregistration of pupils at the start of the school year.

Information on school atten-dance relates in particular to the population of official sch-ool age. For the purpose of this publication children were grouped as follows:

Children of primary edu-cation age – 6-14 years of age,

Children of secondary education age – 15-17 years of age.

In addition to this, it should be also noted that exact equi-valence with the 2003 Census data is not possible for several reasons:

At the time of the 2003

Census, children of pri-mary education age was made up of children bet-ween 7 and 14 years of age.

At that time, primary sch-ool lasted for eight years compared with 2011, wh-en primary school lasted nine years.

In the period between the two censuses, primary education system reform took place and gradually the shift was made from an eight-year to nine-year primary school. At the time of the 2011 Census, primary education lasted for nine years and child-ren enrolled at primary school at 6 years of age.

To enable more simple use of the data on age structure in future surveys, children are grouped by school age. In Mo-ntenegro there were 46 114 children of pre-primary sch-ool age (under 6 years old) or 7.4% of the total population; 72 637 primary-school-aged children (6-14 years) represe-nting 11.7% of the total popu-

lation. In other words, a tenth of the inhabitants of Monte-negro are of primary-school age. As regards secondary school attendance, data on children from 15 to 17 years was considered, and accord-ing to the 2011 Census there were 26 375 children in that age group or 4.3% of the total population.

The highest share of primary-school-aged children in the total population is in the Mu-

nicipality of Rozaje (15.7%), which means that one-sixth of the inhabitants of Rozaje are children aged between 6 and 14 years. One-eleventh of the inhabitants of Pluzine, Cetinje, Savnik, and Zabljak are prima-ry-school-aged children.

Among 72 637 children aged from 6 to 14 years, 68 835 chi-ldren or 95% of them attend school, and 3 802 children or 5% of this age do not attend school. There is a similar situ-

ation with children between 6 and 17 years where out of 99 012 children of that age 93 699 (95%) attend school while 5 313 (5%) do not go to school.

In the municipalities of Zablj-ak, Cetinje, Danilovgrad, Ko-tor, Ulcinj, and Mojkovac, 97% of children between 6 and 17

years attend school. These municipalities have the high-est school attendance rates in Montenegro. Podgorica and Berane are the municipalities with the lowest school atten-dance rate for children betw-een 6 and 17 years (93%).

school increased from 94% to 95% compared with the previ-ous census. In four municipali-ties – Zabljak, Tivat, Berane, and Pljevlja– school attendan-ce rates are at the same level

as in 2003. An increase in the school attendance rate was registered in most municipali-ties, while a decrease of 1% was registered in Budva, Nik-sic and Podgorica.


When comparing the 2003 and 2011 Censuses data, it should be taken into account that displaced persons from Kosovo, according to the cur-rent methodology, were not calculated in the population of Montenegro in 2003. A sig-nificant number of displaced persons from Kosovo are in-dividuals from the Roma and Egyptian populations with a school attendance rate signi-ficantly lower than in other groups. Inclusion of this part of the population in the popu-lation of Montenegro, accor-ding to the 2011 Census, has

resulted in a decrease in sch-ool attendance rates in com-parison with 2003 in the muni-cipalities of Podgorica, Budva, and Niksic, where the share of this population is the highest.

The percentage of children not attending school in 2003 and 2011 remained the same in the following municipalities: Zabljak, Tivat, Berane, and Pljevlja. Budva, Niksic and Po-dgorica recorded an increase of 1% in the share of children who do not attend school in comparison with the previous census; there is a decrease in

the percentage of children not attending school in other mu-nicipalities.

Observations by citizenship show that 34% of stateless children do not attend school. Of the total number of children who are in the process of acq-

uiring citizenship 16% do not attend school, and 15% of children who are citizens of a foreign country do not attend school. The lowest percentage of children that do not attend school is among children with Montenegrin citizenship (4%).

Children who are 6 years old have the lowest school atten-dance rate, which can perhaps be explained by the provisions of the Law on Primary Educa-tion (2002, and amendments in 2011) according to which children that reach 6 years of age in a calendar year are en-

rolled in primary school. Re-garding the time of the cen-sus (31 March 2011) at which point the school year was into its second semester and the calendar year 2011, children that needed to enrol at school in autumn 2011 had already reached 6 years of age.

The attendance rate of 6-year-olds (76%) significantly influ-ences the reduction of the total school attendance rate in Montenegro.

Among primary-school-aged children aged between 6 and 15 years, the school attend-ance rate is higher than am-ong older children. 5.8% of 16-year-olds do not attend

school, while this percentage is higher among 17-year-old children (7.1%).

The tables below present the rate of school attendance and non-attendance by gender. At the country level, the school attendance rates are equal. Among children of younger ages, the school attendance rate is lower among boys,

while among girls the school attendance rate is lower am-ong older children. Of the total number of girls aged 6-17 years, 94.6% attend school, which is the same per-centage as with boys of the same age. Visible differences in school attendance by gen-der are noticeable in Rozaje, Zabljak, and Berane, where

a higher percentage of boys attend school in comparison with girls. The situation is the opposite in Mojkovac, Tivat and Pljevlja, where more girls attend school than boys.

7% of boys in Podgorica, aged 6-17 years do not attend sch-ool, meaning that one-thir-teenth of boys are not includ-ed in the educational system.

Computer literacy is defined as the ability to use basic co-mputer applications to acco-mplish everyday tasks. The 2011 Census collected data on the ability to use the follow-ing computer applications – word processing and spread-sheet applications, an Internet browser and e-mail client. The data was collected on the basis of the statement provid-ed by respondent. A person able to use all four mentioned applications is deemed comp-uter literate.

Individuals who can use one, two or three computer applic-ations, but not all four of them are considered partially com-puter literate.

Individuals who can use none of the above mentioned com-puter applications are deemedcomputer illiterate.

The highest percentage of computer literate children from 15 to 17 years is recor-ded in Herceg Novi, Tivat, andBudva (over 80%), while that

Th-ere are an equal number of municipalities with a higher percentage of computer liter-ate children than the national average (69%), and those with percentage below the nation-al average.

In Montenegro, out of the tot-al number of children 6-17 years old, 2 845 (3%) of child-ren attend school outside the municipality they live in. Al-

most one-third of children from Savnik (29.3%), one-fifth of children in Danilovgrad (19.3%), and one-sixth of chil-dren from Andrijevica (15%) attend school outside the mu-nicipality they live in.

A noticeable difference accor-ding to gender is present in Herceg Novi, where 8% of boys aged between 6 and 17 years go to school outside Herceg Novi compared to 3% of girls. 21% of boys and 17% of girls from Danilovgrad go to school in another municipa-lity.

Marriage before the age of 18 is a reality for many

young women around the world. According to UNICEF's estimates, over 64 million wo-men aged 20–24 years were married or in union before the age of 18. Child marriage is a violation of human rights, compromising girls’ develop-ment and often resulting in early pregnancy and social isolation, with little education and poor vocational training reinforcing the gendered nature of poverty. The right to 'free and full' consent to a marriage is recognized in the Universal Declaration of Hu-man Rights – with the recog-nition that consent cannot be 'free and full' when one of the parties involved is not su-

fficiently mature to make an informed decision about a life partner. Required to perfo-rm large amounts of domes-tic work, under pressure to demonstrate fertility, and responsible for raising children while still children themselves, married girls and child moth-ers face constrained decision -making and reduced life ch-oices. Boys are also affected by child marriage but the is-sue impacts girls in far larger numbers and with more inte-nsity.2

Marital status is defined as the legal conjugal status of each individual in relation to the marriage legislation of that country (that is de jure status). The marital status of

juveniles who formally concl-uded marriage in line with the law is the subject of this cha-pter. According to Article 24 of the Law on the Family3, a person who has not reached 18 years of age is not allowed to get married. With the exce-ption of paragraph 1 of this Article, the court may allow marriage to be contracted to a juvenile older than 16, in accordance with the special law.

The Census also collected da-ta on consensual unions that de facto exist in our society. This refers to couples who, while not married, are living together and functioning in the same way a formally mar-ried couple would. The data on this type of union has not yet been processed and is not available for this publication.Legislation in this area differs across countries, and there is no uniform international stan-dard for this issue. The statis-tically agreed rule is that mar-ital status data is presented

for any individual of age 15 or over. Accordingly, for the purpose of this publication in this area, the age group from 15 to 17 years was observed. All indicators calculated with-in this chapter represent the population share according to marital status compared with the population aged 15 to 17 years.

According to the 2003 Census,in Montenegro 329 (1.1%) chi-ldren aged from 15 to 17 were married. In 2011, this percent-age was slightly higher prop-ortionally (1.2%), although it represents a smaller number of children in absolute terms (310).

Observed by municipality, in 2003 all municipalities had cases of child marriages, and in 2011 only in Savnik was no such case recorded. In 2003, the highest share of married children was recorded in An-drijevica and Plav (over 2%), and the lowest share was in Herceg Novi, Danilovgrad,

Pluzine, and Zabljak (0.5%). In 2011, over 2% of children were in marriage in Andrijevica, Ro-zaje and Berane.

Observed by gender in 2003, among children who were in marriage, 80% were boys, and 20% girls. On the other hand,

in 2011 out of the total num-ber of children who were mar-ried, 69% were girls, and 31% boys.

The age structure of married children in 2003 indicated that more than half, i.e. 51% had reached 17 years, while

30% had reached 16 years, and those children who had reached 15 years made up 19%.

In 2011, two 15-year-old indi-viduals (less than 1%) were married, against the provisi-ons of the Law on the Family (2007), thus one conclusion


is that these marriages were contracted outside Montene-gro. The data shows that 122 16-year-old children (39%) and 186 children (60%) who had reached 17 years were mar-ried.

In 2003, in Montenegro there

were 5 divorced children – three boys and two girls. Cas-es of divorced children were recorded in the following municipalities: Danilovgrad, Niksic, Podgorica, and Ulcinj.

In 2011, all cases of divorced children were recorded amo-

are married. This data indica-tes that there are more mar-ried girls of age 15-17 years than married boys.

The lower age fertility thresh-old is limited only by biologi-cal limitations. Early birth is recorded through a regular annual survey on births.

Thus, the fact that the 2003 Census recorded 104 cases of girls who had given birth to one or more children is not surprising. There were 92 girls who had given birth to one child, 10 who had given birth to two children at the mome-nt of census, and 2 girls who had given birth to three chil-dren.

In 2003, in Montenegro there were 7 chil-dren whose spouses were no longer living – one boy and six girls. These cases were re-corded in the following mun-icipalities: Berane, Bijelo Po-lje, Herceg Novi, Pljevlja, and Podgorica.

The 2011 Census indicated that only one child in Monte-

10% of the total number of Roma children of age 15-17, 6% of Egyptians, and 2% of Bosniaks are married. Among other population groups, the percentage of married children in the total population of chil-dren aged 15-17 years is aro-und 1%.

The number of girls who had given birth was higher in 2011, and amounts to 125. The stru-cture by number of born chil-dren is similar: 94 girls had given birth to one child, 29 girls had given birth to two children, and 2 girls had giv-en birth to three children.

Early birth cases in 2003 were recorded in all municipalities, except in Zabljak and Pluzine. In 2011, there were no cases

of early births among girls in Zabljak, Budva, Danilovgrad and Savnik.

Child labour harms the me-ntal and physical develop-

ment and health of children, and prevents them from atte-nding or completing school. Of major concern are the wo-rst forms of child labour as defined by the International Labour Organisation.4

a) all forms of slavery or pra-ctices similar to slavery, such as the sale and traffi-cking of children, debt bon- dage and serfdom and forced or compulsory labour, including forced or comp-ulsory recruitment of children for use in armed con-flict;

b) the use, procuring or offe- ring of a child for prostitu- tion, for the production of pornography or for porno-graphic performances;

c) the use, procuring or offe-ring of a child for illicit acti-vities, in particular for the production and trafficking of drugs as defined in the relevant international tre-aties;

d) work which, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried out, is likely to harm the health, safety or morals of children.

As it is the poorest children that are engaged in child lab-

4 ILO Convention No. 182 on the worst forms of child labour, 1999, Article 3.


our, child labour in turn perp-etuates inter-generational po-verty by preventing children who work from gaining edu-cational and developmental opportunities to become soci-ally mobile upon reaching adulthood. With the money earned, children often help their families.

According to the Labour Law (2011)5, a person in Montene-gro may conclude a working contract according to the gen-eral conditions of this Law if he/she has reached at least 15 years of age. This provision of the Law is harmonised with the recommendations of the International Labour Organi-sation (ILO) and the United Nations Economic Commis-sion for Europe (UNECE)/Eurostat recommendations for determining the lower age limit for labour data collec-tion.

In accordance with this, data on the activity of people was collected by the Statistical Of-

fice of Montenegro for people aged 15 years and over. Ac-cordingly, this chapter will consider labour of children aged 15-17 years reported in the census on activities per-formed for wages or salary paid in cash or in kind. Having in mind the methodological complexity of definitions usedin this area, the main terms used in this chapter will be defined.

The Census of Population, Ho-useholds, and Dwellings 2011 collected data about the eco-nomic activity of individuals, i.e. an activity performed by a person in the period from 25-31 March 2011 or a week before the census. Responses were collected for individuals aged 15 and over, on the ba-sis of their given statement.

The term employed in the ce-nsus is defined as people who, in the week before the census:

Performed any regular or usual work for wage/pro-

fit (in cash, goods or services) for at least one hour or performed any unpaid work (in an enterprise, professional practice or on an agricultural farm owned by any person’s family member); or

Did not work (because of illness, annual leave, state or religious holidays, education, training, maternity leave, reduced production or any other temporary inability to work), but they have a job to which they will return.

Under unemployed in the cen-sus are considered people who:

In the week before the census did not work, but were actively seeking work during March 2011 (four weeks before the census), and are ready to start to work if a job is offered to them during the next two weeks.

The active population compri-ses all employed and unem-ployed persons aged 15 or over.

The inactive population is all people aged 15 or over, not classified under the active po-pulation.

The activity rate represents the percentage of the active population out of the total po-pulation aged 15 or over.

The employment rate is the percentage of employed peo-ple in the total population aged 15 or over.

The unemployment rate is the percentage of unemployed people out of the total active population.

According to the census data, only 443 children aged 15-17 years are active (1.7%) of the total number of children of the mentioned age. More than 6% of children are active in Savnik, which can imply em-ployment of children in family

agricultural holdings, although when using these percentages, we should be very careful to note the absolute values, sin-ce the percentages of small values can be extremely high.

In accordance with the previ-ously mentioned definition, active people can be emplo-yed or unemployed. 58% of the active children of the men-tioned are unemployed, mea-ning that they are actively see-king work and are ready to accept work within two weeks, and 42% of them are already employed according to the mentioned definition of em-ployment.

This increase in age is followed by an increase in the number of economically active chil-dren. Thus, the total number of active children aged 17

years is 226. The gender stru-cture shows that in all obser-ved years of age, boys are mo-re active than girls.

The gender structure of em-ployed and unemployed indi-cates that the majority in bothcategories are boys. This dif-ference is especially visible in the category of employed children, where the number of employed boys is twice as high as the number of empl-oyed girls.

Of the total number of active people aged 15-17 years, Mo-ntenegrins have the largest number (27%), while the lo-west percentage is among Croats, where only one child

satisfied the mentioned defi-nition of activity.

The national or ethnic struc-ture of children that perfor-med any work paid for a wage in cash or in kind during the period before the census, and thus satisfying the definition of employed, is presented in Chart 29 above. The conclu-sion is that the structure of employed children is compri-sed mostly of Montenegrins, and then Serbs, which corre-sponds to the total national structure.

To ensure clear presentati-on of data, the definition

of citizenship should be expl-ained. Citizenship is consid-ered to be a relationship of a public and legal character between an individual and the state. On the basis of citizen-ship, a person acquires the status of a national of a state, which makes certain citizen’s, political, economic, social and other rights legally available to him/her, but also which puts him/her in a situation in which he/she may have cer-tain obligations and duties.

The approach of single citize-nship is not implemented in

practice (i.e. every person sho-uld be a national of one state), and there occur cases of so-called conflict of citizenship, negatively resulting in a situ-ation where a person is not accepted by any state as a national and these people are called stateless persons. A positive side of a conflict of citizenship is a person with dual or multiple citizenship.

Every country imposes its own rules to regulate the issue of citizenship, especially those according to which it defines individuals and conditions under which these individuals will be considered, or cease

to be considered its nationals. Also the European Conventionon Nationality from 1997, Arti-cle 3 states that each state sh-all determine under its own law who its nationals are.

Issues about the citizenship of nationals are regulated by the Law on Montenegrin Citi-zenship (2011). The records on the nationals of Montene-gro are kept by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The population census carried out in April 2011 collected data

on the citizenship of people. All data was obtained only on the basis of the person’s sta-tement, without any proof of documentation. The data on the issue of citizenship can-not be compared with data from the previous 2003 Cen-sus, because when that cen-sus was carried out, the state of Serbia and Montenegro existed, as well as citizenship of this state.

The 2011 Census data shows that 92% of the total populati-on of Montenegro have citize-

nship of Montenegro. Out of the total number of children aged from 0 to 17 years, 93% have citizenship of Montene-gro. It means that there is a somewhat higher percentage of children with Montenegrin citizenship than is the case in the overall population.

Among the overall population of Montenegro, 4.6% of the population have citizenship of a foreign country. Among chil-dren, 3% of them have foreign citizenship.

There are 1.2% or 1 753 chil-dren in the process of acquir-ing citizenship of Montenegro. According to the UN Conven-tion relating to the Status of Stateless Persons (1954, Arti-cle 1(1)), a stateless person (apatrid) is defined as follows: “... the term “stateless per-son” means a person who is not considered a national by any State under the operation of its law.” In other words, to be apatrid is to be without na-tionality or citizenship. Impor-

tant causes of statelessness are discrimination and loop-holes in legislation on nation-ality.6

Montenegro has a population of 4 312 stateless people, of which 2 226 are children, indi-cating that more than half of the stateless people are under 18 years (51%). Observed by municipality, the structure of children by citizen-ship is presented in the charts below.

Less than 90% of children in Budva, Tivat, Bar, and Herceg Novi have Montenegrin citi-zenship. Indeed, the largest proportions of children with foreign country citizenship can be found in the mentioned municipalities in Budva 11%, Tivat 8%, Bar and Herceg No-vi 6% of children have citizen-ship of a foreign country.

Foreign countries, citizenship of which are most represented by children are: Serbia (2 707),

In addition to this, the menti-oned municipalities and Pod-gorica possess the largest nu-mber of children waiting to acquire citizenship, although this percentage does not ex-ceed 2.5% of the total number of children.

Stateless children are most represented in Podgorica and Tivat, while there are no sta-teless children in Pluzine, Za-bljak and Savnik.

The northern region has 96% of children who are nationals of Montenegro. The central region, as well as Montenegro overall records a level of 93% of children who have Monte-negrin citizenship. In the coa-stal region there are fewer chil-dren with citizenship of Mon-tenegro (89%).

6% of children in the coastal region, in the central region

2.5%, and in the northern re-gion 1.4% have citizenship of a foreign country.

The table below provides the structure of children according to citizenship by national or ethnic affiliation.

The majority of children, over 90% of Montenegrins, Serbs, Muslims, Bosnians, Albanians and Croats possess citizenship of Montenegro. Among Roma and Egyptians, this percentage is much lower, and amounts 50% and 30% respectively.

The population of Montene-gro is also comprised of chil-dren with foreign citizenship. The largest number of foreign nationals among children are: Egyptians 25%; Roma 13%; Se-rbs 5%, while among all other national and ethnic groups, 2% of children are not citizens of Montenegro, except for chil-dren with Montenegrin natio-nality, where less than 1% of children have foreign citizen-ship.

The issue of the ethno-cul-tural characteristics of the

population is of increasing relevance to a number of cou-ntries in the context of migra-tion, integration and minority policy, thus this topic is attra-cting more attention than in the past.

For these reasons, the issue of the ethno-cultural charac-teristics of the population re-ceived more attention in the 2010/11 Census Recommen-dations than ever before. This issue is explained clearly and in detail, and the experiences of countries in the 2000/01 Census were used.

Ethno-cultural characteristics possess a very subjective di-mension, and they may be very sensitive in political ter-ms. Because of this, an open and free declaration by each individual is of key importance.

The methodology defined that the answers to these que-stions for children under 15 years of age are provided by their parents or guardians. It should be noted that the cen-sus methodology envisaged that the questions for children without parental care, under 15 years located in relevant residential institutions should

be answered with “Does not want to declare”.

The recommendation is that during the process of design-ing the questions, defining classification and conducting among members of minoriti-es, consultations and prepara-tions with ethnic, linguistic and religious groups must be performed to enable full par-ticipation in the census.7

The Census collected data on ethnic affiliation (ethnicity), religion and mother tongue.

The data on the ethnic struc-ture of the total population indicates that Montenegro is a multi-ethnic and multicultu-ral community in the true sense of the words.

The data indicates that the lar-gest number of children are of Montenegrin ethnicity (44%), then Serbs (25%) and Bosniaks (11%). Egyptians and Croats are present with less than 1% of the child population. It is necessary to stress that 6.1% of children did not want to de-clare themselves.

The proportion of Montenegri-ns, Serbs and Croats is higher than their children’s proportion out of the total population of children. Among other obser-ved populations, children make up a higher share of the total child population than ad-ults out of the total population. The conclusion is that Bosni-aks, Albanians, Roma, and Egyptians are younger popula-tions.

Differences in the ethnic stru-cture of children according to the 2003 and 2011 Censuses are not significant. The num-ber of Montenegrin, Bosniaks, Roma, and Egyptian children, as well those who did not wa-nt to declare themselves incr-eased in 2011 compared with 2003. The number of Serbian, Albanian, Muslim, and Croati-an children decreased in 2011 compared with 2003.

In 2011, the number of children with Montenegrin, Bosnian and Roma language as their mother tongue increased in comparison with 2003.

Religion/confession is the third ethno-cultural characte-ristic obtained through the census. The structure of chil-dren by religion is presented in the chart below.

More than two thirds of chil-dren in Montenegro are Orth-odox Christians. 24% of chil-dren are Muslims and 3.4% of children are Catholics.

In 2011 compared with 2003, the number of Muslim chil-dren increased, and the num-ber of Orthodox children decr-eased, while among other ca-tegories there were no signifi-cant changes.
