The objective of this brief
situational analysis is to assess the extent to which each
element of the social protection system in Albania fulfills
its purpose; to determine whether the system as a whole
satisfies the four principles outlined in the report; and to
identify knowledge gaps and areas for reform in the short,
medium and long term, as well as lessons learned from the
response to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
pandemic. The analysis finds that Albania has implemented
important reforms of the social protection system in the
past years to improve the effectiveness and equity in the
system. While some of these reforms are beginning to bear
fruit, others must be sustained and furthered to achieve the
intended results. The situational analysis unfolds as
follows: section I gives an introduction; section II reviews
the main poverty and labor market outcomes in Albania;
section III provides a brief overview of the social
protection system in Albania; section IV looks at
non-contributory cash transfers to support the poor, the
vulnerable and persons with disabilities; section V examines
social services; section VI analyzes pensions; section VII
explores employment and active labor market programs;
section VIII reviews the social protection response to the
COVID-19 pandemic; and section XI concludes by identifying
main areas for reforms and knowledge gap areas where more
detailed assessments will be needed. |
