Reform of the system of social insurance indispensable for Albania

Summary/Abstract: An increase in education expenditure by the Ministry of Education reduces the level of inequality in per capita GNP across the Turkish provinces. However, the impact of government higher education expenditure on income inequality is statistically significant only conditionally, in particular on expenditure by the Ministry of Education as well as on certain other factors, and in the direction of worsening income distribution. A national rise in the rate of enrolment in secondary education also increases inequality. Hence, these results may suggest that relatively poor provinces have benefited from the expenditure of the Ministry of Education more than have rich ones. In contrast, relatively rich provinces have benefited from government higher education expenditures more than have poor ones. Nevertheless, a higher rate of enrolment in secondary education at the national level may imply a higher rate of enrolment in rich provinces relative to poor ones, or vice versa. Moreover, we cannot be sure that a greater rate of enrolment in secondary education within a province guarantees the enhancement of incomes therein. Therefore, in order to establish a certain conclusion on this finding, we need data which measures the distribution between provinces over time.
