Public Transfers and Targeting in Kyrgyzstan

Jane Falkingham

Chapter 9 in Household Welfare in Central Asia, 1997, pp 163-182 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: 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.
