The language used to refer to this very heterogeneous group continuously evolves towards greater inclusion. For this reason, different researchers and organisations have adopted other versions of the abbreviation, such as LGBT and LGBTI. Accordingly, the report will use those researchers’ and organisations’ chosen abbreviations when describing the results of their work. 4 European Institute for Gender Equality Contents Contents Foreword 3 Highlights of the Gender Equality Index 2020 11 Introduction 17 1.

  • The Role of Labor Markets and Safety Nets
    CHAPTER 3 The Role of Labor Markets and Safety Nets In 2003, more than two-thirds of the poor in the Region (or around 40 million poor people) belonged to families where someone worked. Although economic growth has served the poor well (par- ticularly the working poor), they remain the largest group among the poor. This chapter analyzes the main channels through which growth affected the well-being of the poor during 1998–2003. It shows that alongside higher wages, increased transfers were instru- mental in reducing poverty. But neither higher wages nor increased transfers can be expected to sustain poverty reduction in the Region. The chapter concludes that higher productivity and enhanced employment generation are needed to sustain poverty reduction. To achieve this, policy makers need to push for the continuation of structural reforms to bring market discipline to old enterprises and encourage entry by new firms. How the Poor Can Connect to Growth The poor connect to growth processes in various ways, direct and indirect. This chapter adopts a simple framework (used by “Pro-Poor Growth in the 1990s,” World Bank 2005f) to analyze how economic growth shapes the opportunities available to the poor in the Region. 107 108 Growth, Poverty, and Inequality: Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union There are three main channels that affect different groups among the poor. The unemployed poor directly benefit from increased employ- ment resulting from growing demand for their labor. The working poor gain from rising real wages or higher productivity of their self- employment. Growth can also trickle down to the nonworking or eco- nomically inactive poor through increased public and private transfers (figure 3.1).

  • Human Development Paper
    HUMAN DEVELOPMENT PAPER HUMAN DEVELOPMENT PAPER ON INCOME INEQUALITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA 1 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT PAPER ON INCOME INEQUALITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA Reduced inequality as part of the SDG agenda August 2018 2 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT PAPER ON INCOME INEQUALITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA FOREWORD “People are the real wealth of a nation. The basic objective of development is to create an enabling environment for people to enjoy long, healthy and creative lives. This may appear to be a simple truth. But it is often forgotten in the immediate concern with the accumulation of commodities and financial wealth.” (UNDP, Human Development Report, 1990). When the first Human Development Report was published in 1990, the UNDP firmly set out the concepts of dignity and a decent life as the essential to a broader meaning of human development. Ever since, the organization has been publishing reports on global, regional and national levels addressing the most pressing development challenges. In recent years, UNDP initiated a new product - Human Development Papers – that focus on a selected development issue with the aim to contribute to policy dialogue and policy-making processes. It is my pleasure to introduce the first Human Development Paper for Serbia, focusing on inequality. The Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development places a special emphasis on eradicating poverty worldwide while reducing inequality and exclusion, promoting peaceful, just and inclusive societies and leaving no one behind. The achievement of Sustainable Development Goals requires new approaches to how we understand and address inter-related challenges of poverty, inequality and exclusion. The paper analyses and sets a national baseline for SDG10 leading indicator 10.1.1 - Growth rates of household expenditure or income per capita among the bottom 40 per cent of the population and the total population and the related target 10.1.
