Beblavy, Miroslav |

| This paper summarizes, in an extremely brief fashion, experiences of Slovakia and other Central European countries (Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland) in reforming their social security systems, with focus on poverty reduction. The paper proceeds along the following logic. First of all, it examines preconditions for successful reduction of poverty – macroeconomic stability and sustainable growth. It then looks at definition of antipoverty objectives and selects ones appropriate to the Central European and Ukrainian situation. It then focuses on potential instruments to achieve these objectives in the area of employment and social inclusion. |
