CASE and CASE Ukraine are co-organizing a seminar "Scenarios of Social Privileges and Benefits Monetization" to present the results of the research conducted as part of the Preparation of the strategy for social benefits monetization in Ukraine Project.
The project aims at developing a theoretical background of social benefits monetization reform in Ukraine. The major goal of the research is to assess the results of such a reform. A group of experts developed several scenarios which incorporate income test application and price subsidies elimination. Using simulation methods, researchers estimated the potential results of the implementation of these scenarios. The results of this experiment, along with those of the Russian monetization reform experience which has also been analyzed, will be presented during this seminar.
In this research special attention is paid to the mechanisms of price subsidization of housing and transport services. The system of in-kind privileges cannot be treated separately from the cost price of services themselves as price subsidies and social privileges are the elements of a single mechanism.
The Project is co-financed by the 2008 Polish aid programme of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland. The materials express exclusively the views of the authors and cannot be identified with the official position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland.
