| description |
The study focuses on the high levels of
poverty in the Kyrgyz Republic, where the trend has been one
of increasing poverty in the last decade. The first chapter
reviews the economic situation, based on data sources,
particularly the household level data, collected by the
National Statistical Committee, which measure not only the
levels, and depth of poverty, but identifies the
determinants of poverty, and other social outcomes and
indicators as well. Economic growth dropped in the early
1990s, rose in 1996-97, and then fell in the wake of the
Russian financial crisis, with significant lower resources
available to the government. Furthermore, government
spending as a share of GDP maybe at unsustainable levels,
and may need to be reduced; this creates the dilemma that,
as poverty increases, the government has fewer resources to
provide assistance, and services. Chapter II presents an
overview of poverty, indicating extreme poverty affected
twenty three percent of the population, with a significant
shortfall in consumption. Chapters III and IV explore the
livelihoods of the poor, and issues affecting them, focused
on the lower levels in labor force participation by the
poor, the hidden differences in unemployment among the
welfare groups, and, limited employment opportunities.
Dissatisfaction concerning utilities, education, and health
is prevalent, where the poor pay a disproportionately high
share of total income (consumption) for services.
Conclusions, and recommendations are presented in Chapter V,
emphasizing on public spending policies targeting poverty,
through social assistance programs, all of which will
require sectoral reform, and rationalization of services. |
