| description |
This report provides estimates of the
level poverty and changes in living conditions between 2003
and 2007 in the new European Union (EU) member state
Bulgaria. This report fills key gaps in the understanding of
the state of welfare in Bulgaria and its future trends. It
provides an assessment of changes in living standards since
2003, a period of sustained robust growth and intensive
reform efforts leading to successful EU accession, and the
current profile of the poor. The report quantifies the level
of deprivation and the gains in poverty reduction and
overall welfare improvements in different segments of
Bulgaria's population. The study aims to support policy
discourse on poverty reduction and strengthening of social
protection by providing a robust assessment of living
conditions among various individual, household, geographic,
and socioeconomic groups and of the actual and likely future
effectiveness of current poverty reduction policies. The
report is organized as follows. Section two examines welfare
trends between 2003 and 2007, decomposes changes in poverty,
and links poverty outcomes to growth. In section three, the
poverty profile is presented based on the results of the
2007 Multitopic Household Survey (MTHS) data. Correlates and
determinants of consumption expenditures are presented in
section four. Annex A provides a detailed account of the
concept of poverty and the methodology used for measuring
poverty in this report. Annex B presents supplementary data. |
