摘要:The paper analyzes the incidence, the severity and the determinants of household
poverty in Ukraine during transition using two comparable surveys from 1996 and
2004. We measure poverty using income and consumption and contrast the effects
of various poverty lines. Poverty in both periods follows some of the
determinants commonly identified in the literature, including greater poverty
among households with children and with less education. We also identify
specific features of poverty in transition, including the relatively low
importance of unemployment and the existence of poverty even among households
with employment. Poverty determinants change over time in line with the
experience of transition and restructuring.
