| description |
The rapid economic growth since 2000 has
been the main driver of poverty reduction in Romania.
However, even under the current positive growth scenario,
there are still people who live in poverty, and some who are
unlikely to benefit from future growth and thus may continue
to be left behind. For these people an effective
redistributive social policy and targeted interventions are
needed. The purpose of this note is to assist the Ministry
of Labor, Family and Equal Opportunities (MLFEO) to analyze
and monitor the effectiveness of the main social safety net
benefits to fight social exclusion and reduce poverty. To
determine the extent to which social transfers offer
protection to the poorest groups of the population, the
paper uses the last available (2004-2006) rounds of the
household budget survey data. The analysis presented here
uses the consumption aggregate and the absolute poverty
definition presented in the 2003 and 2007 poverty
assessments. Three main indicators are used to assess the
effectiveness of social protection (SP) programs: coverage
(share of population covered by the programs), targeting
(share of funds directed to each welfare group of
population), and adequacy of benefit (share of the benefit
in the consumption of beneficiaries). The paper begins with
a review of the main findings, followed by an overview of
the social protection system and its overall effectiveness.
Then it assesses the main social assistance programs, and
concludes with a review of key issues. |
