The 2010/2011 NHDR addresses the roots of social exclusion, identifies socially excluded and vulnerable groups and provides specific recommendations on how to eliminate barriers to social inclusion for all. The process of transition that the Republic of Moldova experienced in the last 20 years has created both opportunities and challenges for the country’s people. But those opportunities often come at enormous social costs such as decline of the people’s real income, explosion of poverty in rural areas, growing unemployment, intensified migration and the reduced capacity of the social protection system to respond to social challenges.

The report is unique in another respect; it approaches the European integration aspirations of the country through the lens of human development; and it seeks to describe the intricate relationship and mutual influence between the two processes. Such an approach will improve understanding of the complexity of the integration process and its impact on human development, of the society’s capacity to ensure that all people are able to live and work decently, and to fulfill their potential in an environment where opportunities are preserved and created. The European integration aspirations of the country cannot be seen outside the current development context. The report examines the main obstacles and opportunities, placing them in a wider context of the political, economic and social transformations the country is going through. Like any social process, European integration cannot have a linear trajectory and is not a one-way street. Year: 2012 |
