Households in Transition: The BSEC-CA Experience

Loukas Balafoutas

No 67, OECD Development Centre Policy Insights from OECD Publishing

Abstract: Households in the Black Sea Economic Co-operation (BSEC) and Central Asia (CA) regions have adopted coping strategies to withstand negative income shocks during the transition. The most common strategies include family and community support, emigration, and a wide range of activities in the informal sector. Some strategies persist today and are embedded in the new economic environment.
