Human capital and poverty reduction in Albania by Meleq Hoxhaj Pdf
Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, grade: 10, University Of Vlora Ismail Qemali, language: Albanian, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze poverty, human capital and the relationship between them in Albania. Poverty is among the main problems of the world economy and poverty reduction today is considered as the main objective of the new millennium. Poverty in Albania grew after the 1990s. We had the following years of poverty reduction, but in recent years, we have again a slight increase. When analyzing data from the World Bank and other sources by linear regression, it appears that the rate of enrollment in primary education has a negative effect on GDP per capita, while there are positive correlations for GDP per capita and the rate of enrollment in secondary education. This paper suggests that, in order to enable the reduction of poverty, we need a greater involvement of the poor in the economy and increase the quantity and quality of human capital in Albania.

Emerging Europe has undergone a major economic transformation over the past 25 years. Most countries experienced initial drops in output during transition, followed by recovery in the second half of the 1990s. The path of transition in the Western Balkans has however been particularly uneven. The effects of transition also seem to have been more traumatic and persistent in the Western Balkans, and nostalgia for the past appears to be more prevalent here than in other former communist regions. Such dissatisfaction has important implications for the political economy of further reforms. This paper aims to inform policy by complementing the analysis of standard macro-level measures of inequality and poverty with a household-level analysis of subjective perceptions of poverty. We find that many more people appear to feel poor than are classified as such using purely income-based measures. Uncertainty, in particular related to expectations of future income and vulnerability to shocks, appears to be a key driver behind this discrepancy.

The economy has thus far been fairly resilient to recent political uncertainties, although the reform process has been adversely affected. Continued growth will depend to a large extent on higher private investment, which will require further improvements in governance and the implementation of reform. The combination of a better investment climate and sound fiscal management is essential for ensuring external viability. Monetary policy has been successful, but rapid changes in the financial system call for continued vigilance. Program implementation has been uneven, but satisfactory.
