4. Yuka Takeda, ”Is Russia’s social policy effectively targeting poverty?", the 13th WEAI Conference (Western Economics Association International Conference), 2017.01, During the transition from a planned economy to a market economy, Russia experienced a sudden rise in poverty. Despite the requirement of an effective social security policy at the outset of the transition, Russia’s Social Assistant Act was enacted only in 1999, when economic growth began. This study examines the characteristics of poverty in Russia and its changes before and after economic growth, using microdata from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey in 1994-2013. The empirical results show that working-age households with one or more children comprise the majority of poor in Russia. In addition, although the unem-ployed have never been the dominant population of poor in Russia, their poverty risk was and is high, both before and after economic growth. However, existing social security legislation, such as the Social Assistant Act, is designed to assist pensioners and veterans, reflecting the privileges (l’goty) of the Soviet period. This study concludes that Russia’s social security policy fails in targeting poverty and is ineffective, although some recent progress has been made, such as the introduction of social contracts..
