Montenegro

Northern, Southern and Western Europe

Women

Montenegro ranks 26 out of 162 countries in the Gender Inequality Index, where a high rank equals high equality. Women should always be considered as a particularly vulnerable group though.

Children

Montenegro has a Workplace Index score of 3.2, a Marketplace Index score of 4.5 and a Community and Environment Index score of 3.0 in the Children’s Rights and Business Atlas, where countries receive scores between 0 and 10. A score closer to 0 reflects a need for basic children’s rights due diligence, while a higher score reflects a need for enhanced or heightened due diligence. Children should always be considered as a particularly vulnerable group though. 

Persons with Disabilities

Due to differences in data collection and definitions it is difficult to compare countries on disability prevalence rates. Persons with disabilities should always be considered as a particularly vulnerable group though.

According to the World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples, the main minority groups in Montenegro are Montenegrins, Serbs, Bosniaks, Albanians, Croats and Roma. No single ethnic group forms an absolute numerical majority. Montenegrins, Serbs, Bosniaks and Croats are Slavic. Most Montenegrins and Serbs are Christian Orthodox, most Bosniaks and Albanians are Muslim, and most Croats are Catholic.
