Social Safety Program in the Republic of Macedonia (23 kb)
"Social Safety Program in the Republic of Macedonia", a study carried out by the Macedonian Center for Energy Efficiency (MACEF) in 2003 describes current socioeconomic conditions in this former Yugoslavian republic and outlines the prospects for improving energy efficiency as a means to alleviate poverty. The first section of the report summarizes the methods to define and categorize poverty, and documents the extent of poverty in Macedonia through tables of statistics and descriptions of living conditions in poor households throughout the country. The second section describes the features of the social welfare system established by the Macedonian government, analyzes the inadequacy of the system in lifting significant numbers of citizens out of poverty, and provides suggestions on how to improve the system. The third section describes macroeconomic conditions in the country, while the fourth section examines the labor market and the nature of employment in the country. Using conclusions drawn throughout the report, the final section provides a guide for using energy efficiency measures to improve the lives of Macedonia's less fortunate citizens, with recommendations on what actions to take and how to take them.
