Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) is a global research programme developed by UNICEF through consultations with other United Nations agencies. MICS is designed to provide statistically sound and internationally comparable data for key social indicators and it is targeted at the most sensitive part of the population: women, children and vulnerable and marginalized population groups. The results of this survey are one of the most important databases, and for many indicators related to health, development and education of children, youth and women, MICS is the only source of data. For more information on Monitoring the Situation of Children and Women and global MICS programme please visit https://mics.unicef.org.

Every four years

Starting from 1999, the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia has not at disposal and may not provide available certain data relative to AP Kosovo and Metohija, and therefore these data are not included in the coverage for the Republic of Serbia (total).

The indicator refers to women aged 15 to 49, not the entire population. Data is available only for 2019.
