Описание: Reforms spurred by accession to the European Union (EU) boosted productivity and integrated Romania into the EU economic space. Gross domestic product per capita rose from 30 percent of the EU average in 1995 to 59 percent in 2016. Today, over 70 percent of the country's exports go to the EU, and their technological complexity is increasing rapidly. Yet, Romania remains the country in the EU with by far the largest share of poor people, with over a quarter of the population living on less than $5.50 a day. There are widening disparities in economic opportunity and poverty across regions and between urban and rural areas. Although Bucharest has already exceeded the EU average income per capita, and many secondary cities are becoming hubs of prosperity and innovation, Romania remains one of the least urbanized countries in the EU. Access to public services remains constrained for many citizens, particularly in rural areas, and there is a large infrastructure gap, which is a drag on the international competitiveness of the more dynamic areas of Romania while limiting economic opportunities in lagging and rural areas. Growth is constrained by weak commitment to policy implementation, creating a poor business environment and misallocation of resources to politically connected firms. Equal opportunities are constrained by weak local service delivery and an inability to ensure sufficient local funding due to patronage-based politics. And resilience to natural disasters and climate change is constrained by lack of coordination between central and local authorities. As argued in this report, Romania has no choice but to address these institutional challenges if it is to sustain the impressive growth performance of recent years, share prosperity among all of its citizens, and improve its resilience to natural hazards.

Описание: Previous Poverty and Shared Prosperity Reports have conveyed the difficult message that the world is not on track to meet the global goal of reducing extreme poverty to 3 percent by 2030. This edition brings the unwelcome news that COVID-19, along with conflict and climate change, has not merely slowed global poverty reduction but reversed it for first time in over twenty years. With COVID-19 predicted to push up to 100 million additional people into extreme poverty in 2020, trends in global poverty rates will be set back at least three years over the next decade. Today, 40 percent of the global poor live in fragile or conflict-affected situations, a share that could reach two-thirds by 2030. Multiple effects of climate change could drive an estimated 65 to 129 million people into poverty in the same period. “Reversing the reversal” will require responding effectively to COVID-19, conflict, and climate change while not losing focus on the challenges that most poor people continue to face most of the time. Though these are distinctive types of challenges, there is much to be learned from the initial response to COVID-19 that has broader implications for development policy and practice, just as decades of addressing more familiar development challenges yield insights that can inform responses to today’s unfamiliar but daunting ones. Solving novel problems requires rapid learning, open cooperation, and strategic coordination by everyone: from political leaders and scientists to practitioners and citizens.

Описание: The share of people living in extreme poverty, as assessed by the international poverty line (currently set at USD$1.90 a day), has become one of the most prominent indicators for assessing global economic development. It has been a central indicator for the Millennium Development Goals and is now an important indicator among the Sustainable Development Goals.The World Bank's Poverty and Shared Prosperity series is the official source for the latest global estimates of poverty and shared prosperity. Each report also expands on a particular theme. As the world continues to make progress in eradicating poverty, efforts to monitor progress in reaching our goals will need to bring greater attention to ensuring that no one is left unaccounted for, that everyone counts - and the 2018 report explores the implications of this.Chapters 1 and 2 provide updates on the status of global poverty and the state of shared prosperity in the world. Chapter 3 examines the usefulness of a measure of societal poverty, which takes both absolute and relative aspects of deprivation into account above a certain income level. This measure provides a higher estimate of global poverty, which allows for the notion that participating in society may require more resources in richer countries. Chapter 4 puts forward a multidimensional index of global poverty that builds on the consumption-based measure by adding dimensions of well-being for which market prices largely do not exist, such as health and education. Chapter 5 addresses a key constraint in monitoring global poverty, namely, that the current state of data does not allow for the measurement of inequality within households. This chapter describes the first efforts to overcome this constraint, with the aim of improving our understanding of the individual-level characteristics of the poor through a focus on gender.
