Abstract
Despite improved economic performance in Central and Eastern Europe in 1994 and 1995, there was still no clear and comprehensive evidence that the welfare crisis was ending. This third Regional Monitoring Report confirms the social trends observed since 1989, showing in particular that children have suffered disproportionately in the fields of child care, education, adolescent protection and poverty. The Report maintains that untimely, partial, or clearly erroneous policies have contributed to this deterioration in child welfare and proposes a series of policy guidelines for a "transition with a human face". These include the promotion of an employment and self-employment based anti-poverty strategy and some important measures in the fields of health, education and child care.

A Decade of Transition
The Report provides a review of the first 10 years of transition, exploiting the fact that data are now available on many issues that cover the entire 1990s. The core chapters examine the record of the decade in four key areas affecting human welfare: income inequality and child poverty, health, education, and child protection. An introductory chapter analyses key economic and demographic trends. In each case, the Report summarizes developments to the end of the decade, discussing both the outcomes measured with statistical data and the policy options.

A Decade of Transition (Russian)
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 paved the way for changes in every aspect of life in this region. New opportunities
and new risks emerged for all members of society. The main drive for change has been bold economic and political
reform - the transition from planned systems to market economies and from authoritarian regimes to more participatory
societies. But the 1990s also saw a broader, worldwide transition: a change in thinking about what constitutes social progress.
