The report updates the poverty situation
in Armenia, largely based on the Integrated Living
Conditions Survey conducted during 1998-99, and provides as
well, the foundation for the preparation of the Poverty
Reduction Strategy. The poverty profile identifies a
widespread, and still deep poverty incidence, but while this
poverty seems persistent, its depth and severity may be
decreasing, and extreme poverty subsiding. Notwithstanding
the fact that estimates point to a stabilization of the
poverty profile, there are identified population groups
facing particularly high poverty risk, i.e., very young
children and the elderly, unemployed and adults not
participating in the labor market, and people residing in
high altitude and earthquake regions. Factors behind the
persistence of poverty in Armenia are: low income and high
inequality in its distribution; growth which did not
generate sufficient employment opportunities; and, the
impact of the Russian crisis during the period under review.
Recommendations call for the implementation of regular
integrated household surveys (quarterly), and, include the
need to focus on generating more job opportunities, by
creating an environment conducive to private sector
development, i.e., small and medium scale enterprises; and,
increase public spending on quality education, and health,
while pursuing ongoing reforms, namely, in health management
and finance. |
