This book maps the latest developments in the policy relevant
analysis on poverty, inclusion and the social agenda in the Western
Balkans. It does so by presenting a selection of recent papers
which explore from a methodological and analytical point of view
how the inclusion agenda can be monitored and adapted to understand
the challenges in the region. The volume includes an overview and
four sections, covering respectively: (1) innovations in terms of
measurement of poverty and inclusion in the region (the concept of
inclusion as elaborated at the EU level, innovations in survey
design to suit the measurement of inclusion, methodological
insights from qualitative work); (2) innovative country level
analysis (updating poverty mapping in inter-censual years, the
analysis of material deprivation, the analysis of determinants of
social inclusion, subjective wellbeing of public work programs
participants); (3) examples of country level analysis of drivers of
exclusion (barriers to formalization in the labour market, gender
disparities in the labour market, disruption in social networks
following urbanizations, attitudes towards multi-ethnic states);
(4) building inclusive safety nets (an assessment of safety nets in
the region, the political economy of welfare reform,
micro-simulations of social assistance reform, the adoption of
better tools to improve targeting performance). The chapters
combine sophisticated techniques which are at the frontiers of
poverty analysis (small area estimation, efficiency analysis
applied to household welfare, micro-simulations) with less
ground-breaking papers which take advantage of innovative datasets
or perspectives deeply grounded in the policy dialogue in the
countries of the region. By providing a wide spectrum of innovative
and policy relevant analytical contributions this book will be of
broader interest than for observers of the region.
