| Summary: | The report aims to assist the Bulgarian
authorities in identifying options for policies and reforms
that would help to boost productivity and employment and
thereby economic growth and income convergence. To achieve
this, the report looks at Bulgaria's product and labor
markets, human resource development, and R&D and
innovation system. The reform options are arranged along a
time dimension, ranging from short to medium term. The
implications of the proposed policy options for the
government's budget are also briefly explored,
including the utilization of EU grant funds. The report
concentrates mostly on the supply-side aspects of
Bulgaria's product and labor markets, its education
(primary and general secondary, VET, tertiary) delivery, and
its R&D and innovation system. |
