abstract: '``I saw discrimination lead to poverty, I saw episodic high levels of
|
|
|
|
unemployment, I saw business cycles and I saw all kinds of
|
|
|
|
inequalities....{''''}{[}1].
|
|
|
|
Post Soviet countries and among of them Georgia shows a fast growing
|
|
|
|
asymmetry in the distribution of income and wealth during transition
|
|
|
|
period. In this paper is analyzed the determinants of inequality in
|
|
|
|
Georgia starting with factors influencing the changing distribution of
|
|
|
|
wages, income and the others being at the core of economic inequality.
|
|
|
|
Inequality can also be framed in a broader sense than income, e. g.
|
|
|
|
inequality in consumption, or inequality of resources, including assets
|
|
|
|
and wealth. Not very surprisingly a strong correlation between output
|
|
|
|
loss in the early phase of transition and the rise of inequality
|
|
|
|
measures as the change of Gini coefficient which is a measure of
|
|
|
|
inequality.
|
|
|
|
Purpose: The discussion on the development of inequality in Georgia and
|
|
|
|
analysis the possible reasons for the observed increase of inequality.
|
|
|
|
The recent situation of inequality in Georgia well as its development
|
|
|
|
since 1990 have analyzed taking into account the profound political,
|
|
|
|
economic as well as social transition having occurred in Georgia.
|
|
|
|
Looking at the development of average inequality in the regions of
|
|
|
|
Georgia, we see that in all of these cases the liberalization of markets
|
|
|
|
led to a sudden rise in income dispersion. The fall of labor demand as
|
|
|
|
well as the liberalization of labor market regulations were accompanied
|
|
|
|
by the emergence of all kinds of less regulated forms of employment. The
|
|
|
|
elimination of legal restrictions on private business activity and
|
|
|
|
ownership gave rise to self-employment throughout country. In
|
|
|
|
particular, in Georgia the sharp and persistent fall in labor demand of
|
|
|
|
enterprises forced workers to move into low-productivity jobs in the
|
|
|
|
service sector or subsistence agriculture, since in many of the regions
|
|
|
|
of Georgia social protection is lacking and the status of unemployment
|
|
|
|
is not an affordable option, but labor supply was reduced.
|
|
|
|
Methodology: to state the desirable properties of measures of inequality
|
|
|
|
when the variable under study is ordinal and check which properties are
|
|
|
|
fulfilled by the various indicators.
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: The choice of the main indicators which were highly
|
|
|
|
correlated with others for studying of economic inequality''s in Georgia
|
|
|
|
are: Health insurance, homelessness, income inequality, wage inequality,
|
|
|
|
deregulation labor, internal displaced community, income distribution,
|
|
|
|
Middle class is not formed in Georgia and differences between rich and
|
|
|
|
low classes are very high. As the data by state statistics is not
|
|
|
|
presented for these indicators in series by years, this work have to
|
|
|
|
provide more carefully consistently again.'
