Moldova loses more than 10.4% of its human development due to inequalities, UNDP

The Republic of Moldova ranks 107 out of 189 countries and territories as per the Human Development Index (HDI) which measures national progress in health, education and income and is annually published by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in its Human Development Reports, IPN reports, quoting a press release of UNDO Moldova.

Moldova’s HDI value for 2018 is 0.711, which puts the country in the high human development category. However, Moldova lost 10.4% of human development progress due to persisting inequalities.

Just as the gap in basic living standards is narrowing, new forms of inequalities are emerging, caused by uneven access to education, health service and technology, and exacerbated by the climate crisis among poorer and more vulnerable groups of population. In the urban context and growing urban population, the risks of food and energy poverty are very high.

The recent analytical work commissioned by UNDP Moldova contains several policy recommendations for tackling existing and potential new forms of inequalities, in particular: i
ncorporate the objective of reducing inequalities in the existing policy framework in areas of social protection, inclusion, non-discrimination, business development, health, education, mobility, etc.; support development and implementation of policies of social inclusion and economic growth without increasing the fees and income taxes; carry out the reform of the hospital service with the regionalization of specialized services.
