Social Protection System Review of Kyrgyzstan
Author: OECD
Publisher: Org. for Economic Cooperation & Development
ISBN: 9789264302266
Category : Kyrgyzstan
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Social protection is at the heart of Kyrgyzstan's development and is a priority of public policy. Pension coverage among today's elderly is universal and a large number of contributory and non-contributory programmes are in place to cover a wide range of risks. Kyrgyzstan has succeeded in maintaining the entitlements dating from the Soviet era while introducing programmes appropriate for its transition to a market economy. However, severe fiscal constraints have limited the coverage of these new arrangements and their capacity to adapt to challenges such as poverty, pervasive informality and emigration.

Author: International Labour Organisation
Publisher: International Labour Organization
ISBN: 9789221148395
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
This book investigates the paradox of rich countries of Western Europe, who have high levels of poverty whilst proclaiming its eradication as one of the primary social and economic goals. It looks at how policies often do not achieve their goals, why countries need mechanisms to reduce wage inequality and why they choose to provide universal benefits instead of systems of selective benefits targeted at the poor. Along with cross-countries comparisons, the volume also presents analysis of the minimum income in France, Portugal, Italy, Finland, Ireland, Belgium, and Greece.
