It reviews the effectiveness of the main social safety net transfer programs in reducing poverty and assesses how well they are placed both to address the possible social impact of the crisis and to promote active social inclusion. It also reviews the effectiveness of recently introduced limits to eligibility to Guaranteed Minimum Income, the main social assistance benefit, which aimed at raising work incentives for beneficiaries. It finally lays out a set of policy recommendations on how to strengthen the social safety net to deal with the economic crisis in the short term as well as to promote employment activation and support broader a human development agenda over the medium term. 2013-02-22T21:17:18Z 2013-02-22T21:17:18Z 2009-09 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2009/09/16275269/bulgaria-bulgaria-mitigating-impact-economic-crisis-poorbrsocial-safety-net-reform-policy-notebr http://hdl.handle.net/10986/12471 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Policy Note Economic & Sector Work Europe and Central Asia Bulgaria
