| description |
By most indicators the Slovak Republic
has achieved a high level of human and social development.
Despite the country's generally high living standards
and overall level of development, there are families in
Slovakia whose living conditions are below what is
considered to be socially acceptable. By societal standards,
these families and individuals are poor. The objective of
this study is to analyze this poverty, so as to help design
measures and policies to reduce it. The study also seeks to
understand the phenomenon of unemployment--the main cause of
poverty--and propose actions to alleviate it. The report is
organized as follows: After Chapter 1, which explains the
background of poverty and inequality in the Slovak Republic,
Chapter 2 addresses the challenge of generating employment,
including rising unemployment and inactivity, job
reallocation during transition, the importance of the
regional and skills mismatch, and conclusions and policy
recommendations that enhance employment creation. Chapter 3
explores the role of the safety net system, particularly
unemployment insurance and other forms of social assistance;
presents a brief simulation analysis of the disincentives
provided by unemployment insurance, social assistance, and
social support; provides an empirical analysis of
disincentive effects; and ends with a discussion of the
policy implications. Chapter 4 focuses on the poverty and
welfare of the Roma population. Finally Chapter 5 telescopes
regional disparities. |
