DEFINITION UNHCR: IDPs - persons who were forced to change place of
residence, moving to another settlement in the same country In Serbia, waste majority of the group are persons who moved
from Kosovo after NATO invasion in 1999 – arround 205.000 Serbs make 78.5% of the group, Roma make 15.8%, and the
rest are Montenegrians, Bosniaks, Goranians and others (LSMS).
the proportion of IDPs living in urban areas increased from 70.6% before the displacement, to 83% today
majority of IDPs are located in Belgrade and bigger cities near Kosovo (Kraljevo, Niš, Leskovac, Kruševac)
In northern province of Vojvodina mostly Roma IDPs 4,580 IDPs accommodated in 56 collective centers (Jan. 2009)

DATA SOURCES a number of researches aiming to analyze the socio-
economic position and problems of IDP population in the past few years (LSMS, UNDP, DRC, KIRS)
This descriptive analysis based on LSMS 2007 sample of 1,962 IDP households and 8,441 individuals,
including 259 Roma households and 1,331 Roma individuals
Some remarks based on Survey on Social Inclusion, conducted by UNDP for Regional Human Development Report, where national sample of 2,400 was boosted with 300 IDPs.

ACCESS TO BASIC DOCUMENTATION
the number of IDPs who faced this problem decreased. In 2007 10.6% of LSMS respondents said they lacked
some personal documents, 8.1% of non-Roma and 26.6% of Roma.
Roma lacked basic documents (birth certificate, citizenship certificate, personal ID, health care card)
Non-Roma lacked less important documents (employment service document, passport)
42,1% of Roma IDPs who lacked documentation did not even try to collect missing documents – they need assistance in approaching relevant institutions

POVERTY (absolute, LSMS)
2010 UNDP HDR: at-risk-of-poverty rate (60% of consumption mediane) was estimated at 18% for general population in Serbia, 57.6% for IDPs and 82.8% for Roma
![Page 15: POVERTY AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION OF IDPs IN SERBIA](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/5681405e550346895dabd254/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MATERIAL DEPRIVATION (similar to SILC)
Composite index made of 3 components: 1. capacity of meeting basic needs (food, clothing, payment of utilities,
etc.); 2. possession of durable goods; 3. housing (household furnishing and quality of the space)
![Page 16: POVERTY AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION OF IDPs IN SERBIA](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/5681405e550346895dabd254/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CONCLUSIONS IDPs are poorer and less included part of Serbian society Inclination towards urban areas: jobs in public institutions,
better quality of services, lower education costs Vulnerable economic position: low income, higher
unemployment, lost property, higher housing costs for some Roma IDPs in much worse position than non-Roma in any
respect IDP women have much worse position in labor market than
IDP men Need for more thoughtfull institutional approach and
differentiated policy incentives
