Abstract

This report focuses on changes in the social protection system to lessen the social impact of the economic crisis that confronts the Russian Federation today. The report is not comprehensive and covers exclusively the crisis-related issues. It addresses the key challenges of 1) coping with income decline and increasing poverty; 2) offsetting the consequences of reduced public expenditure in the social sectors; 3) targeting and delivering social assistance and benefits; and 4) improving the functioning of labor markets. It also deals with selected aspects of emergency assistance. Finally, it identifies possible areas for World Bank support.
