| description |
The present study focuses on four main
objectives. First, it presents an update of poverty, and
income distribution measures, reported in 1997 by the Bank;
second, it looks at deficiencies in social services, and how
to improve social services targeted to the poor; third, it
considers how trends in income distribution could be
modified, if taking into account the transfer effect of
social programs; and, fourth, it looks at some special
issues that impact on poverty, namely unemployment, and the
problems of indigenous peoples. Given the relatively high
levels of unemployment, the persistence in educational
deficits, and the low coverage of social programs amongst
the poor, recommendations suggest, respectively, a focus on
relevant, job creation aspects, in line with labor market
demands, not merely responsive to the renewed economic
growth, to include as well, further labor code, and
unemployment insurance system reforms; efforts to
consolidate, and intensify the quality, and equity in
education, particularly tertiary education to advance
Chile's human capital; and, improved targeting of
social programs, with attention to regional disparities in
the allocation of social spending, particularly as it
regards poverty among indigenous communities. |
