9 Preface This book is the product of research on determinants of poverty and targeting of social assistance in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union (FSU). The research was done during the years 1996 and 1997, using household budget surveys from six transition countries for the period The motivation for this research lies in the increased interest exhibited in the transition economies as well as in the World Bank in issues of (what is in the economic jargon called) targeting, that is, in improving the delivery of social assistance so that it reaches those who need it. This increased interest stems from the current emphasis on poverty reduction and social equity within the World Bank and its member governments, as well as from financial constraints faced by most transition countries governments that make the continuation of the provision of a quasi-universal social safety net unaffordable. Our key objective was to try to make meaningful policy recommendations on how to improve targeting. But in order to do so, we must know whom to target, that is, who are the poor. Thus, after a brief discussion of the countries included in the study in Chapter 1, we analyze in Chapter 2 the determinants of poverty in the selected transition economies. We study whether poverty is associated with specific demographic traits and economic characteristics and whether these characteristics are more or less similar across the transition economies. Our objective in Chapter 2 is to derive relatively robust conclusions regarding the factors that are linked with poverty, how important they are, and if and why they differ among
10 x poverty and social assistance in transition countries the countries. These conclusions have direct policy implications for (1) targeting by indicators (e.g., by family size or region); (2) the role of education in reducing poverty; (3) the importance of unemployment as an explanator of poverty (as opposed to, for example, the working poor). In Chapter 3, we discuss the targeting of social assistance. In all countries, social assistance offices have a certain income cutoff point, whether official or de facto, which they use to screen those who are eligible for social assistance from those who are not. Taking this cutoff point, our objective is to investigate if there are systematic biases against or in favor of certain household types. For example, if for a given income level rural households have systematically a lower chance to be helped, then there is a pro-urban bias in the system. The cause of this bias, for example, unequal allocation of government money between rural and urban areas, greater importance of unrecorded incomes in villages, lack of rural population s knowledge about the available social assistance, or some other factor, can be investigated through field visits. Policy conclusions regarding the possible improvements in the delivery of social assistance thus combine the results derived from the desk study based on the survey data, and field work. In order to study these topics, a very large and standardized data base has been constructed using household- and individual-level data from the existing income and expenditure surveys. The surveys were conducted over the period The countries included in the study were originally eight. Four are East European countries: Hungary (date of survey: 1993), Bulgaria (1995), Poland (1993), and Slovakia (1993). Four were part of the former Soviet Union: Estonia (1995) in the Baltics, Armenia (1994) in the Caucasus, the Kyrgyz republic (1993) in Central Asia, and Russia ( ). For all the countries except Armenia, the Kyrgyz republic, and Russia, we used the official survey data collected by the countries statistical offices. For the Kyrgyz republic and Russia, we used the living standards surveys partly financed by the World Bank. For Armenia, we used a household survey produced by the State Committee on Statistics and the Yerevan University Department of Sociology.
11 preface xi In selecting the countries to study, our first requirement was to have access to the individual- and household-level data from a nationally representative survey. The task was then to make the variables as comparable as possible across the countries, by ensuring either that a given variable (e.g., wage income, food expenditure, education level, housing ownership) is defined the same way in each country survey, or if this was not possible, to document clearly the definitional differences. During the exacting and lengthy process of variable standardization, we found ourselves compelled to drop two countries Armenia and Slovakia from the analysis because of what we consider to be potentially serious flaws within the surveys themselves, or inconsistencies between the variable definitions in the two surveys and other surveys that could not be overcome. 1 The entire database, referred by the acronym HEIDE (Household Expenditure and Income Data for Transition Economies) is in STATA format. It contains 72 standardized variables 2 for the eight countries, and is available from the World Bank (for a small fee, needed to cover reproduction costs). 3
