The objective of this report is to understand to what extent economic growth has reduced poverty and led to improved living conditions for the population during 2000-2005. The report also attempts to answer three questions about the Kyrgyz Republic: what is the profile of poor? How has economic growth affected the level and composition of poverty? How has the labor market contributed to changes in poverty? The report is divided into two volumes. The first volume begins with this chapter which provides an international comparison of social and other key indicators of the Kyrgyz Republic followed by a profile of the poor based upon 2005 household survey data. The second chapter analyzes the linkages between growth and poverty during 2000-2005. The third chapter provides our key findings of labor market outcomes and poverty and what the implications are for policy making. The final chapter synthesizes the information from the earlier chapters and provides some policy directions. The second volume provides a more thorough analysis of labor markets. It covers developments in the labor market, urban labor markets, rural labor markets and differences between men and women in the labor market.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGE GROUPAGRARIAN ECONOMYAGRICULTURAL EMPLOYMENTAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL POLICYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL SECTORAVERAGE UNEMPLOYMENTBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC NEEDSCHILD CARECHILD LABORCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURESCONTINUED EMPLOYMENTDISCRIMINATIONDRIVERSEARNINGECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC STATUSEDUCATIONAL LEVELELDERLYEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT CREATIONEMPLOYMENT GROWTHEMPLOYMENT OFFICEEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT OUTCOMESEMPLOYMENT RATEEMPLOYMENT RATESEMPLOYMENT SHAREEMPLOYMENT SITUATIONERADICATION OF POVERTYETHNIC GROUPSEXTERNAL MIGRATIONFAMILY MEMBERSFARM ACTIVITIESFARMERSFEMALE PARTICIPATIONFEWER HOUSEHOLDSFEWER PEOPLEFINDING JOBSFIRING COSTSFOOD PRICESFOOD PROCESSINGFOOD SECURITYGENDER GAPSGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER ISSUESHEALTH CAREHIGH EMPLOYMENTHIGH UNEMPLOYMENTHIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATESHIGH WAGEHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD NEEDSHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD WORKHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN TRAFFICKINGIMMIGRATIONIMPACT OF MIGRATIONINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINCOME GROWTHINCOME QUINTILEINCOME SECURITYINDIRECT LABOR COSTSINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATESINFORMAL EMPLOYMENTINFORMAL SECTORINTERNAL MIGRATIONJOB CREATIONJOB INSECURITYJOB MARKETJOB OPPORTUNITIESJOB SEARCHJOB SECURITYJOBLESS GROWTHJOBSLABOR COSTLABOR COSTSLABOR DEMANDLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR LAWSLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET CHARACTERISTICSLABOR MARKET CONDITIONSLABOR MARKET INDICATORSLABOR MARKET OUTCOMESLABOR MARKET REGULATIONSLABOR MARKET SITUATIONLABOR MARKETSLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLABOR PRODUCTIVITY GROWTHLABOR REGULATIONSLABOR SUPPLYLAND REFORMLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIMITED JOB OPPORTUNITIESLIVE BIRTHSLONG-TERM UNEMPLOYMENTMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMALE COUNTERPARTSMALE PARTICIPATIONMEATMIGRANTSMIGRATIONNATIONAL AUTHORITIESNATIONAL POVERTYNATIONALSNET JOB CREATIONNON-FARM EMPLOYMENTNON-FARM SECTORNUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSNUMBER OF PEOPLEOCCUPATIONOCCUPATIONSOLDER WORKERSPENSIONSPOOR FAMILIESPOOR WOMENPOPULATION GROWTHPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY HEADCOUNT INDEXPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY STATUSPREVIOUS SECTIONPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SOURCEPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE TRANSFERSPRODUCTION PATTERNPRODUCTION UNITPRODUCTIVITY GAPPRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENTSPRODUCTIVITY LEVELPRODUCTIVITY LEVELSPROGRESSPUBLIC SERVICESQUALITY OF EDUCATIONREAL WAGEREAL WAGESREMITTANCESRESPECTRURALRURAL ACTIVITYRURAL AREASRURAL DIMENSIONRURAL EMPLOYMENTRURAL FAMILIESRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INHABITANTSRURAL LABORRURAL LABOR MARKETRURAL LABOR MARKETSRURAL MIGRANTSRURAL POORRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYRURAL POVERTY LEVELSRURAL POVERTY RATESRURAL RESIDENTSRURAL SECTORRURAL WOMENRURAL WORKRURAL WORKERSSCHOOL ENROLMENTSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY LEVELS OF EDUCATIONSERVICE SECTORSSMALL BUSINESSESSTATUS OF WOMENSTRUCTURAL REFORMSSUBSISTENCE FARMINGTOTAL EMPLOYMENTTOTAL PRODUCTIVITY GROWTHTOTAL UNEMPLOYMENTTRANSPORTATIONUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYED PEOPLEUNEMPLOYED PERSONSUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT FIGURESUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNEMPLOYMENT SPELLSUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONUNPAID FAMILY WORKERSURBAN AREASURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POVERTYURBAN SETTLEMENTSURBAN WORKERSURBANIZATIONVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL TRAININGWAGE EMPLOYMENTWAGE GROWTHWAGE LEVELSWOMEN WORKERSWORK FORCEWORKERWORKFORCEWORKING CONDITIONSWORKING POORWORKING POPULATIONYOUNG PEOPLEYOUNG WORKERSYOUNGER WORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/7615
