Background:
In Montenegro, women have never had equal conditions for realizing their human rights nor opportunities to contribute to national, political, economic, social and cultural development, and consequently to benefit from these opportunities. Despite the fact that more and more women are highly qualified and labour market participation of women is on the increase, women are still largely outnumbered by men in positions of responsibility in politics and business, particularly at the top level. While 51.8% of the Montenegrin population is female, only 11% of the seats in the National Parliament are held by women, only 7% of the councilors in the local parliaments are women; out of 17 government ministers only one is a woman, while one out of 21 mayors is a woman. Furthermore 39.5% of all employees are women1, out of whom only 7.2% are performing managerial tasks. 8% of the women in Montenegro are owners/co-owners of their homes/flats, 6% are car owners and 1% are business or company owners.
