Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The poverty of individuals and households in Moldova have mirrored the causes of the overall slowdown in the economy. Many enterprises found that the post-Soviet economic structure resulted in a vast increase in the ratio of their input prices to the market price of their output." Moldova is having an arduous transition from being a centrally-planned economy to one that is guided by market signals. This and the regional crisis in 1998 have exacerbated poverty and inequality levels in Moldova. This report provides a detailed analysis of the situation regarding living standards in the country and provides a framework for policy for the Government's emerging social assistance program. It examines the composition and distribution of poverty in Moldova, how income and price shocks have affected the lives of the poor, and the role of the Moldovan state in easing poverty. It concentrates on analyzing the results for the Right Bank of Moldova, so that any references to Moldova imply the Right Bank. The report will interest members of the Moldovan government, Bank staff, and anyone studying Eastern Europe in general and Moldova in particular.

Book excerpt: Moldova has experienced rapid economic growth in the past decade, which has been accompanied by reductions in poverty and good performance in shared prosperity. Nonetheless, Moldova remains one of the poorest countries in Europe and faces challenges in sustaining the progress. The challenges for progress include spatial and cross-group inequalities, particularly because of unequal access to assets, services and economic opportunities. Moreover, strengthening the persistently weak labor markets to boost employment, especially in the nonfarm sectors, is critical for sustaining progress toward the twin goals of reducing poverty and expanding shared prosperity and for addressing the problems associated with an aging population in a fiscally responsible manner. Accordingly, ensuring the viability of the pension system and improving social assistance are necessary areas of reform, particularly in a context of fiscal pressures, the aging population, and the great vulnerability of the poor to shocks. The Moldova poverty assessment 2016 includes three prongs of analysis: this report, which explores trends and the drivers of poverty and shared prosperity, and the accompanying analyses, 'a jobs diagnostic for Moldova' and 'structural transformation of Moldovan small-holder agriculture and its poverty and shared prosperity impacts.' The jobs diagnostic explores the main labor demand and supply challenges in Moldova in more detail, while the analysis of structural transformation focuses on the agricultural sector and whether it can become a driver of progress.

Book excerpt: Moldova is having an arduous transition from being a centrally-planned economy to one that is guided by market signals, and this has contributed to poverty. Its agriculture-dominated economy is handicapped by the loss of its traditional markets and the slow restructuring of its enterprises. As a result, the economy has been shrinking since independence. This report aims to provide a detailed analysis of the situation regarding living standards in the country, and provide a framework for policy for the Government's emerging social assistance program. Chapter 1 examines the composition and distribution of poverty in Moldova. Chapter 2 looks at how income and price shocks have affected the lives of the poor - and motivates the need for employment-generating growth, especially in agriculture, as the only sure way out of poverty for most Moldovans. Chapter 3 discusses the role of the Moldovan state in easing poverty, and proposes a broad strategy to reform social assistance and social sector reform that best uses the limited Government resources. In its efforts to directly alleviate poverty, the Moldovan Government has to overcome three mutually reinforcing challenges: the population's high expectations for broad and effective interventions, its own lack of fiscal resources, and the technical difficulties in finding effective targeting mechanisms for Moldova's shallow poverty.

Book excerpt: Moldova has experienced rapid growth and increases in living standards in the past decade. The economy has grown by an average 5 percent a year in the past 15 years, while the national poverty rate declined from 26 percent in 2007 to 11 percent in 2014; there are sharp declines observed in the early 2000s as well. However, Moldova's growth model has relied on remittances, with limited job creation. The World Bank (2016) report Moldova: Paths to Sustained Prosperity finds that Moldova's growth model triggered a cycle in which men and women migrated in search of better economic opportunities and sent remittances home that continued to support consumption-driven growth, and that this contributed to poverty reduction and welfare improvement among the less well off, particularly those in rural areas. The 10 facts presented in the note are as follows: fact one: job losses are increasing overall, with productivity-driven economic growth since the 2000s benefitting a smaller number of people who were able to find jobs; fact two: workers left agriculture and industry for services, but the 2009 global crisis dampened the job prospects in services; fact three: out-migration means that Moldova failed to fully capture a demographic dividend for the economy, and is now an aging country; fact four: employment and wage patterns show that job outcomes are becoming less inclusive; fact five: despite their rising educational attainments, young people face significant challenges finding non-farm jobs; fact six: as inequality in earnings widens, post-secondary education still earns more, but is becoming less of a guarantee of a better job; fact seven: efficient firms are raising their productivity by shedding jobs, not creating them, while firm entry and survival rates are low; fact eight: the most productive firms (small, young, foreign, and private) firms have the most productive jobs, but they are not increasing their share in employment; fact nine: while productivity is increasing, a growing share of jobs is in less-productive firms; fact ten: firms providing employment are typically larger and older, while younger firms are struggling, and fewer new firms have been launched since the crisis. It is key to continue monitoring these trends over time and, after the release of the 2014 census data, the labor market and demographic challenges that the country faces will need to be revisited to reflect a more current picture of the situation and the prospects.

Book excerpt: This Joint Staff Advisory Note provides IMF staff’s assessment of the Moldova authorities’ first Annual Evaluation Report (AER), which covers the period from late 2004 to early 2006. Broadly, the AER provides a candid assessment of the accomplishments and shortcomings of the past year, focusing on outcomes rather than inputs. It points to evidence of continued poverty reduction, but also highlights areas where policy implementation has been slower than originally envisaged. The AER also presents an updated description of the dynamics of poverty and inequality in Moldova.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This note provides an update of recent poverty and shared prosperity dynamics, and some of the underlying drivers, as well as introducing the new international poverty thresholds that are currently in use. The purpose of the update is to take advantage of the release of Household Budget Survey (HBS) data for the 2016 survey round. The previous poverty and shared prosperity update, release in 2017, updated poverty and shared prosperity trends up to 2015. The first section discusses the overall progress poverty reduction and shared prosperity up to 2016 - the latest available household budget survey data. Notably, the poverty dynamics are presented, for the first time, using PPP values based on the 2011 ICP exercise, and using the newly adopted Income Class poverty thresholds of USD 3.3/day and USD 5.5/day. For the purposes of this note, we focus on the USD 5.5/day threshold, but the section also presents a comparative analysis of poverty dynamics based on old and new thresholds. Because this is the first time when internationally-comparable poverty and shared prosperity statistics for Moldova are presented based on the ICP 2011 PPP conversion factors, and relying on newly defined income-group based thresholds, the introduction has a brief discussion of the reasons behind the change in the World Bank's poverty methodology used for global poverty monitoring, and the implications of this change for poverty trends over time and for the absolute levels of poverty reported in Moldova. Section 2 discussed the major drivers of shared prosperity during the 2011-2016 period. Section 3 examines the profile of poor and vulnerable populations, their asset endowments, and changes in this profile in recent years.

Book excerpt: This paper discusses the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper and National Development Strategy (NDS) for the Republic of Moldova. The NDS “Moldova 2020” presents a vision of cohesive long-term sustainable economic development based on a diagnostic study of constraints to economic development. Areas such as health, culture, social protection, and environmental protection are crucial for the country’s sustainable development. The focus of the NDS is to increase the budget coverage of adequate policies in these sectors as a result of accelerated economic development. Such a focus also requires the sustainability of foreign assistance currently provided to the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The progress made by Moldova toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has not been uniform since 2007. Domestic economic and political crises are likely to undermine the achievement of several MDG targets set for 2010 and 2015. The goals were to reduce extreme poverty and hunger, achieve universal access to general secondary education, promote gender equality and empower woman, and so on. After growing dramatically in 1998–1999, poverty in Moldova began to decline in 2000. Addressing the environmental challenges and risks is imperative for Moldova.

Book excerpt: This Joint Staff Advisory Note focuses on Republic Of Moldova’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper and National Development Strategy (NDS). The NDS unifies in one document the government’s poverty reduction strategy and development vision. The NDS argues that Moldova needs to add productivity-enhancing investment and exports as growth drivers to its traditional consumption-based growth model. The strong pace of growth observed in the mid-2000s was driven by domestic consumption fuelled by remittances. The NDS calls for a shift from the current consumption-based growth model toward one based on raising investments, increasing productivity and competitiveness, developing export industries, and promoting a knowledge-based society.

Book excerpt: Moldovan GDP growth rose and the poverty rate fell steeply following the end of the Russian financial crisis in 1999. Since late 2002, GDP has continued to grow vigorously, however there has been little progress in reducing poverty. In short, GDP growth is no longer reducing poverty. The national poverty rate is broadly stable while the rural poverty rate is on a modest upward trend. Analysis of data from the household budget surveys shows that the decline in the national poverty rate stopped at the end of 2002, and that the rate has been broadly stable since. The rural poverty rate has been on a modest upward trend; the increase in poverty is concentrated among farmers, and to a lesser extent, among rural pensioners. At the same time, real incomes rose among rural wage earners. Real incomes also rose among urban residents, and their poverty rate continued to decline, as they benefited from the expansion of the construction industry and from rising real wages in construction, manufacturing, and public service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty and Shared Prosperity 2016 is the first of an annual flagship report that will inform a global audience comprising development practitioners, policy makers, researchers, advocates, and citizens in general with the latest and most accurate estimates on trends in global poverty and shared prosperity. This edition will also document trends in inequality and identify recent country experiences that have been successful in reducing inequalities, provide key lessons from those experiences, and synthesize the rigorous evidence on public policies that can shift inequality in a way that bolsters poverty reduction and shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. Specifically, the report will address the following questions: • What is the latest evidence on the levels and evolution of extreme poverty and shared prosperity? • Which countries and regions have been more successful in terms of progress toward the twin goals and which are lagging behind? • What does the global context of lower economic growth mean for achieving the twin goals? • How can inequality reduction contribute to achieving the twin goals? • What does the evidence show concerning global and between- and within-country inequality trends? • Which interventions and countries have used the most innovative approaches to achieving the twin goals through reductions in inequality? The report will make four main contributions. First, it will present the most recent numbers on poverty, shared prosperity, and inequality. Second, it will stress the importance of inequality reduction in ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity by 2030 in a context of weaker growth. Third, it will highlight the diversity of within-country inequality reduction experiences and will synthesize experiences of successful countries and policies, addressing the roots of inequality without compromising economic growth. In doing so, the report will shatter some myths and sharpen our knowledge of what works in reducing inequalities. Finally, it will also advocate for the need to expand and improve data collection—for example, data availability, comparability, and quality—and rigorous evidence on inequality impacts in order to deliver high-quality poverty and shared prosperity monitoring.

This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The background for conducting country studies on the challenges, needs and constraints of smallholders and family farms in seven countries has been a wish to further strengthen the Regional Initiative and develop the initiative towards a stronger programmatic approach at both the regional and country levels. To provide support to smallholders and family farms, there has been a need to develop a better understanding and knowledge platform of the main challenges, needs and constraints of smallholders and family farms in the specific country context. Even though many of the challenges are the same throughout the region, there are still significant variations among the countries; it is important to recognize and understand these variations when designing support to smallholders and family farms in each specific country. It has been the objectives of the country studies first to analyze the development trend and current state of smallholders and family farms in the specific country, second to study the current political priorities and policies affecting smallholders and family farms, and finally, based on the conclusions made, to provide recommendations, mainly at the policy level, on how to further support the development of commercial family farms and at the same time ensure in general inclusive growth, improved rural livelihood for women and men and the reduction of rural poverty for all. It is hoped that each country study will not only be relevant for FAO but also for governments, donors and other international organizations when formulating policy and preparing programmes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Bank Group has two overarching goals: End extreme poverty by 2030 and promote shared prosperity by boosting the incomes of the bottom 40 percent of the population in each economy. As this year’s Poverty and Shared Prosperity report documents, the world continues to make progress toward these goals. In 2015, approximately one-tenth of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty, and the incomes of the bottom 40 percent rose in 77 percent of economies studied. But success cannot be taken for granted. Poverty remains high in Sub- Saharan Africa, as well as in fragile and conflict-affected states. At the same time, most of the world’s poor now live in middle-income countries, which tend to have higher national poverty lines. This year’s report tracks poverty comparisons at two higher poverty thresholds—$3.20 and $5.50 per day—which are typical of standards in lower- and upper-middle-income countries. In addition, the report introduces a societal poverty line based on each economy’s median income or consumption. Poverty and Shared Prosperity 2018: Piecing Together the Poverty Puzzle also recognizes that poverty is not only about income and consumption—and it introduces a multidimensional poverty measure that adds other factors, such as access to education, electricity, drinking water, and sanitation. It also explores how inequality within households could affect the global profile of the poor. All these additional pieces enrich our understanding of the poverty puzzle, bringing us closer to solving it. For more information, please visit worldbank.org/PSP
