The analysis in Poverty, Inequality and Vulnerability in the Transition and Developing Economies of Europe and Central Asia uses the World Bank’s POVCALNET global poverty database to assess poverty and inequality trends in the region.
“The post-socialist history of these countries left relatively equal distributions of income, relatively broad access to social services, and relatively small gender disparities,” says Ben Slay, UNDP Senior Strategic Advisor in the Istanbul Regional Hub. “There are disturbing indications that these advantages are being lost – and that problems of inequality and vulnerability are converging with those of developing countries in other regions.”
The data suggest that those countries that are today facing difficulties in poverty eradication also tend to be experiencing high or growing income inequalities. Life expectancy for men and women is declining relative to global averages in most countries, among other disparities.
It notes that income poverty remains a serious problem in the less wealthy former Soviet republics. The most recent data available indicates that more than a third of the population in Georgia was living in extreme poverty -- less than $2.15 a day -- in 2010. In Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, between one–quarter and one-third of the population, or roughly 6.7 million people live in extreme poverty.
Risks of poverty in the region are particularly high for those who live in rural areas, according to the paper. They are also high for the “new poor” in transition economies, who include the working poor like public servants who work in education, health, science and the arts, along with farm workers.
The paper points to some worrisome inequalities in regional education enrolment trends. Countries like Albania, Montenegro, and Turkey have seen significant increases in pre-school enrolment rates for the past 10 years. On the other hand, less than one-third of young children in Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kyrgyzstan, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Tajikistan, Turkey and Uzbekistan are enrolled in pre-schools. These countries score well below the average for middle income countries.
The gender gap in terms of incomes earned by women relative to men in most of the region is below global averages, according to the research. While the rate of women in the labour force are below those of men, the ratios of female to male labour force participation and unemployment rates in the region compare favourably with global averages, especially in the former Soviet republics.
In life expectancy, both men and women are losing ground in the region. Men living in the Western CIS countries in 1960 lived 12 years longer than global averages. By 2012, their lifespan was on average two years less than the global age. A decline for women in Western CIS countries is also apparent. In the early 1960 women lived more than 14 years longer than women in other countries. By 2012, this differential dropped by two years. Similar trends exist in Central Asia, where in 1960 women lived six years longer than women in other countries. By 2012 they were living some six months less.
The paper notes that the region is also vulnerable to seismic, climatic, and meteorological risks. Many cities face risk of earthquakes, including Almaty, Ashgabat, Bishkek, Istanbul, Skopje, Tashkent, and Yerevan. The flooding that hit the Western Balkans last year had a disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities.
Moreover, inadequate energy infrastructure are not keeping up with demand, leaving millions of people in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan without reliable year-round heat.
This research was presented at a Dialogue on Inequalities, held in Istanbul, Turkey on January 21-22. Leading experts on inequalities in the region presented their views.

“The opportunity to address interlinked global challenges decisively and comprehensively in 2015 must not be missed," she said. "Major processes which can drive development forward are unlikely to fall into the same year again in the foreseeable future."
She cited four international summits with major agendas this year: the 3rd World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan in March; the 3rd International Conference on Financing for Development in Addis Ababa in July; the Special Summit on Sustainable Development in September at the UN in New York where new global development goals are expected to be agreed; and the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris in December scheduled to produce a new global treaty on tackle climate change.
"This is the year for the international community to agree to act on the eradication of poverty in all its forms; to agree to tackle the inequalities in wealth, opportunity, and rights which drive social friction, marginalization and exclusion; and to agree to invest in inclusive and sustainable growth and in building the resilience nations require to sustain progress."
She continued, “The focus for Davos this week is the current global context of instability, uncertainty, and fragility. The challenges we face are human-induced. It is within our collective capacity to tackle them to secure our common future of a more secure, sustainable, and equitable world. The world’s peoples are looking to leaders to reach agreements which will secure that future."
She concluded by saying strong leadership and an engaged citizenry were key.
“The world is watching the 2015 global negotiations and expectations are high. Citizens the world over have been engaged in the debate about what the priorities for the new sustainable development agenda should be, she said. "They want to continue to be engaged, and to hold governments to account for the commitments they make. With strong leadership and an engaged citizenry, mountains can be moved. 2015 is the year to move them."
The facility was inaugurated by Cevdet Yılmaz, Minister of Development and Matilda Dimovska, UNDP’s Deputy Resident Representative in Turkey, Vito Trani, Head of Sub Office in UNHCR, Governor of Kilis, mayor of Kilis, President of GAP regional Development Administration, representatives from governmental agencies, members of Kilis Organic Olive Producers Union, farmers and local people were participated to the ceremony.
Kilizi Integrated Organic Olive Oil Facility has been established within the scope of “GAP Organic Agriculture Cluster” project which is executed by the Southeast Anatolia Regional Development Administration with the cooperation between institutions in order to improve the competitiveness of the Southeast Anatolia Region for organic agriculture. Within the context of this project, with the protocol signed between Kilis Governorship, Southeast Anatolia Regional Development Administration and Kilis Organic Olive Producers Union on 14 March 2013, works have started for increasing added value, profitability, social and economic benefits, and competitiveness of the organic olives produced in Kilis. The project is designed with an integrated approach based on three major axes namely infrastructure, superstructure, and technical support.
Following the preparation of feasibility and work plans, architectural design was completed, bill of quantities and technical specifications were prepared and tender process for the construction of the facility and storage equipment were finalized, and the groundbreaking ceremony of the facility was held on 6 May 2014 with the participation of local stakeholders. The building was planned to be established as a single integrated facility with its administration building, continuous system olive processing unit, packaging unit and storage unit, all in one place. The construction of the facility was completed in November 2014 and the provisional acceptance of the facility was realized on 25 November 2014. Procurement of machinery equipment related to packaging (bottle and tin filling) lines was completed in December 2014 and test productions were completed.
Kilizi Integrated Organic Olive Oil Facility has the capacity to process 80 tons of olives and storage capacity of 150 tons of olive oil per day. The facility is established in Kocabeyli Village of Kilis, on a 12,000 m2 field, that belongs to the Kilis Organic Olive Oil Producers Union. There are continuous system olive processing, packaging and storage units within this integrated facility, which has 600 m2 indoor space. In addition to continuous system olive processing machine, the facility also has filtering systems ensuring quality and standardization before packaging, packaging units which enable both bottle and tin filling and storage tanks which are in line with the regulation of classification and stocking of organic products. Hence organic olives will be processed, stored, packaged and marketed in a modern facility that has an organic entrepreneur certificate. The total amount of the project is around 1,2 million USD Dollars.
Kilis Organic Olive Oil Producers Union has registered the “Kilizi” brand for marketing the olive oil. Moreover, establishment of quality assurance systems like ISO 9000 with organic control and certification is in progress.
An integrated model which sets an example for local economic development is leveraged in which organic olives gain the value they deserve as they are sold with proper processing and with a proper brand and package; in which farmers work together with a shared goal; in which production of certified organic products are disseminated in the region; in which national and international organizations work in close cooperation and in which the added value generated will remain in the region.
