Author(s): Aleksandr Auzan,Sergey Nikolayevich Bobylev / Language(s): English

The Faculty trains masters and post-graduates, teachers and professors of relevant disciplines, including training in CIS countries. Together with the UNDP the Faculty has published two training manuals and has created an Internet portal devoted to human development issues, which offers an interactive training course and contains a statistical module with 100 indicators of social and economic development in Russia’ regions. // In this way the UNDP and the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University have joined forces to promote the human development concept in Russia.

UNDP - HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2012 – REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA. European Aspirations and Human Development of the Republic of Moldova

Author(s): Valeriu Prohniţchi,Ion Osoianu,Ana Popa,Adrian Lupuşor,Rustam Romaniuc / Language(s): English

The European integration aspirations of the country cannot be seen outside the current development context. Th e report examines the main obstacles and opportunities, placing them in a wider context of the political, economic and social transformations the country is going through. Like any social process, European integration cannot have a linear trajectory and is not a one-way street. Th e process must be seen as a multidimensional one. It does not bring benefits and advantages alone. In addition to the efforts of politicians or technocrats, it requires eff orts from the entire society - shifts in mindsets and attitudes by every Moldovan, and obviously an unparalleled communication within and cohesion of the society. I believe this should be the recipe for success. As such, the report does not only provide solutions and relevant policy recommendations for decision makers, but also is meant to offer a venue for discussions., I am certain it will generate fascinating and constructive debates at both national and local levels on the complexity of European integration and inclusive and sustainable human development.

UNDP - HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2014 – KOSOVA. Migration as a Force for Development

Author(s): Matthias Lücke,Aliriza Arenliu,Ardiana Gashi,Artane Rizvanolli,A. Besnik Krasniqi,Denis Nushi,Edona Krasniqi,Kaltrina Kelmendi,Mihail Peleah,Shpend Kursani / Language(s): English

Labour migration and economic interaction with the Kosovan Diaspora abroad have a profound impact on the economic opportunities and livelihoods of many individuals in Kosovo. This is not just limited to the household level. Economic interactions with the Kosovan Diaspora are so pervasive that they strongly influence Kosovo’s macroeconomic devel¬opment and, hence, all Kosovans. // In this 2014 Kosovo Human Development Report, we take a close look at how labour migration and interactions with the Diaspora affect human development in Kosovo. While human development has many different dimensions, this report concentrates on opportunities for productive employment (whether in Kosovo or abroad), material wellbeing and poverty reduction. Focus is also placed on access to education and healthcare (through higher income or access to services abroad), the circumstances of women migrants and women-headed households, and the impact of international mobility on social involvement and political participation. On this basis, we draw out the implications for policy interventions that seek to promote human development and especially, to engage the Diaspora in Kosovo’s future.

UNDP - HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2014 – MONTENEGRO. – Resource Efficiency and sustainable Human Development

Author(s): Saša Popović,Marina Marković,Arkadi Toritsyn / Language(s): English

In line with one of the main priorities and “driving” forces of the Europe 2020 agenda, and being aware of the need for a change in development trajectory, during the consultative process of the report’s preparation, the Montenegrin Government reasserted its vision to become an “ecological state” and move towards a resource-efficient economy. // The report explains what it takes for Montenegro to reach a resource-efficient, greener and more competitive economy as per Europe 2020 with a strong positive and sustainable human development impact and it is a result of the analytical efforts to define a resource-efficient development agenda on the basis of the potentials, existing obstacles and limitations. The Report contains the proposal of policies and actions necessary to achieve the shift to a more resource-efficient, greener and more competitive economy that would be fully harmonized with the key priorities of the European Union and that would be fully in the function of promoting human development.

UNDP - HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2014 – REPUBLIC of MOLDOVA. Good Corporate Citizens. Public and private Goals aligned for Human Development

Author(s): Adrian Lupuşor,Alexandru Fală,Dumitru Budianschi / Language(s): English

The 2014 National Human Development Report clearly shows that the role of the private sector in generating human development transcends that of a tax-payer and a creator of jobs, important though these contributions are. The report presents a thoroughly documented review of global and national experience to demonstrate how the private sector can play the role of catalyst for change by promoting new approaches, technologies, services and policy proposals. We trust these examples will inspire all of the many actors who have a part to play in this and help to drive further the efforts of the Moldovan business community to advance the modernization of the country. // The sustainable and inclusive development of Moldova in a way which benefits all people will occur only if Government, the private sector and society at large join efforts to achieve this goal. The 2014 report seeks to identify what can drive the private sector’s contributions to economic and social progress, what the obstacles are, and how an ecosystem conducive for stronger private–public development engagement can be attained. It provides a set of well-defined policy recommendations for all national actors, including central government and private companies, which we hope will continue the discussions started in the process of formulating the report.

UNDP - HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2016 – MONTENEGRO. Informal Work: From Challenges to Solutions

Author(s): Milorad Katnić / Language(s): English

This year’s National Human Development Report tackles the topic of informal work—a pressing topic that affects not only the economy but all segments of society. A third of all people in Montenegro are fully or partly informally hired, which puts them at risk of poor social and health protection. The report offers focused perspectives and an analysis of the national circumstances and strategies for reducing the scale of the informal economy and for advancing human development. The aim of the report is to bring together the facts on human development, influence national policy and mobilize various sectors of the economy and segments of society. It introduces the concept of human development into the national policy dialogue on informal employment—not only through relevant indicators and policy recommendations, but also through the country-led and country-owned processes of consultation, research and report writing. The NHDR on the informal economy results in a set of policy options on how to reduce the volume of the informal economy in Montenegro with a specific focus on informal employment. In other words, the report’s aim is to support the transition to the formal economy. A set of adequate policies and ways to overcome the barriers to formalization were identified, while at the same time taking into account the most common limitations for the transition to the formal economy. The NHDR has opened the debate on informal employment and its repercussions on inequalities and poverty. To make employment work to reduce poverty, the challenge is not only to create jobs, but also to create decent jobs: ones that o er adequate pay and a su cient level of social protection. Jobs in the informal sector frequently fail to o er just that. In the context of the unfolding economic crisis it is important that the commitment to poverty reduction is maintained. The recommendations defined in this document that are aimed ultimately at the formalization of labour and at overcoming exclusion and marginalization, are based on a systemic approach and aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda.

Author(s): Leonid Grigoriev,Sergey Nikolayevich Bobylev / Language(s): Russian

Traditionally, the Report is based on an analysis of the results of the country's socio-economic development of the previous year.
