Montenegro
Go back Results are from an analysis of the 2018 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 6 (MICS6). Information on methodology is in the main text of the report and in the methods briefs.
Key indicators on the deprivations and wellbeing experienced by women with and without functional difficulties are presented in Table 1. Due to sample size constraints, disaggregation A is conducted comparing women with any functional difficulty to women with no difficulty. Disaggregation B separating out women with some difficulty and women with at least a lot of difficulty was not feasible. Table 1 begins with information on the multidimensional poverty headcount—the rate of women deprived in more than one dimension in the areas of education, health, and standard of living. Women with any functional difficulty have a multidimensional poverty headcount of 6% compared to 4% for women with no difficulty.

| Indicator | No Difficulty |
Any Difficulty |
Difference between no difficulty and any difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multidimensional poverty headcount | 4 | 6 | -2 |
| Less than primary school | 4 | 6 | -2 |
| Owns a mobile phone | – | – | – |
| Safely managed drinking water | 99 | 99 | 0 |
| Safely managed sanitation | 95 | 96 | 0 |
| Clean fuel | 69 | 69 | 0 |
| Electricity | 100 | 100 | 0 |
| Adequate housing | 93 | 90 | 4 |
| Owns assets | 61 | 60 | 1 |
| Having felt discriminated against or harassed | 5 | 9 | -4* |
| Happiness: very or somewhat happy | 98 | 92 | 6*** |
Notes: *, **, and *** indicate that the difference is statistically significant at the 10%, 5% and 1% levels respectively. ‘-‘ indicates not available. Numbers in the difference columns are in percentage points while all other numbers in the table are percentages. The share of women having felt discriminated against or harassed is on the basis of any ground.

Education
The share of women ages 18 to 49 who have less than primary school as their highest level of schooling attained is higher among women with any functional difficulty (6%) compared to women with no difficulty (4%). This boils down to a gap of two percentage points (p.p.), but this difference is not statistically significant.
Health
Rates of access to safely managed drinking water and sanitation are similar for women with and without functional difficulties.
Standard of Living
Differences across functional difficulty status are small (four p.p. or lower) and not statistically significant for the rates of access to clean fuel, electricity, adequate housing, and asset ownership.
Insecurity
Women with any functional difficulty are more likely to report feeling discriminated against or harassed based on any ground, at a rate of 9% compared to 5% of women with no difficulty.
Subjective Wellbeing
Women with any functional difficulty are significantly less likely to report feeling very or somewhat happy than women with no difficulty, at 92% and 98%, respectively.
