Moldova: Poverty Assessment

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the economic challenges faced by Moldova, this report analyzes the transition from a centrally-planned economy to a market-driven system, highlighting the impact of rising input prices and the 1998 regional crisis on poverty and inequality. It delves into living standards, the composition and distribution of poverty, and the effects of income and price shocks on vulnerable populations. The findings aim to inform the government's social assistance program and are particularly relevant for policymakers, researchers, and those interested in Moldova and Eastern Europe.
