Public Transfers and Targeting in Kyrgyzstan

In: Household Welfare in Central Asia

  • Jane Falkingham

Abstract

The transition from a command to a market economy in the countries of former Soviet Central Asia has been accompanied by major economic dislocation. As Chapter 1 discussed, economic restructuring has resulted in a fall in output and real wages and a rise in the number of families living on low incomes. Existing systems of assistance to the most vulnerable have come under increasing pressure due to rising numbers of people in need coinciding with tightening fiscal constraints.
