Innocenti Working Papers Children in Bulgaria: Growing impoverishment and unequal opportunities AUTHOR(S) Roumiana Gantcheva Published: 2001 Innocenti Working Papers The social and economic changes in Bulgaria since the beginning of transition naturally raise concern about their impact on child well-being. This paper investigates the changes that occurred over the last decade in three dimensions of child welfare recognised as fundamental child rights economic well-being, health and education. Then it concentrates on particularly vulnerable groups of children those born of teenage and single mothers and those living in institutions. The data show that the human cost of economic transition has been high and children have been among the most vulnerable groups of the society. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 64 | Thematic area: Countries in Transition | Tags: child education, child health, child poverty, child welfare, economic policy, economic transition, institutionalized children, single mothers, social monitoring | Publisher: IRC × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Roumiana Gantcheva 2001 Children in Bulgaria: Growing impoverishment and unequal opportunities. , pp. 64.
Innocenti Working Papers The 'Family-in-Focus' Approach: Developing policy-oriented monitoring and analysis of human development in Indonesia AUTHOR(S) Friedhelm Betke Published: 2001 Innocenti Working Papers Socio-economic and political turmoil in Indonesia has had an impact on the country's thirty years of progress in social development. However, it has also opened up new avenues for participation and region-specific policy formulation alongside growing demand for new approaches to the monitoring and analysis of social change. This paper examines the Family-in-Focus Approach - a comprehensive lifespan-based concept of human development. This joint initiative from UNICEF, the Government of Indonesia and others, sees families as participants in development rather than passive recipients of programmes. A family focus in the planning of multi-sectoral interventions could ensure better targeting, while building capacity for analysis at Governmental and institutional levels. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 67 | Thematic area: Economic Development, Social Policies | Tags: development planning, family, programme recommendation, social monitoring | Publisher: IRC × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Friedhelm Betke 2001 The 'Family-in-Focus' Approach: Developing policy-oriented monitoring and analysis of human development in Indonesia. , pp. 67.

Innocenti Working Papers Preferences for Inequality: East vs. West AUTHOR(S) Marc Suhrcke Published: 2001 Innocenti Working Papers Do preferences for income inequality differ systematically between the post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Western established market economies? This paper analyses 1999 data from a large international survey to address this question. In particular, we examine whether attitudes to inequality differ between East and West even after the 'conventional' determinants of attitudes are controlled for. Results suggest that this is indeed the case. A decade after the breakdown of communism, people in transition countries are indeed significantly more 'egalitarian' than those living in the West, in the sense that they are less willing to tolerate existing income inequalities, even after the actual level of income inequality and other determinants of attitudes are taken into account. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 46 | Thematic area: Countries in Transition | Tags: economic transition, social indicators, social monitoring, social planning | Publisher: IRC × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Marc Suhrcke 2001 Preferences for Inequality: East vs. West. , pp. 46.
