LIVING STANDARD OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

Abstract

An important index that reflects the efficiency of the state socio-economic policy is the population standard of living. This index represents the result of the country’s socio-economic development. No result of the development of individual sectors of the economy, regardless of how large and positive it is, have sufficient value without appropriate changes in the standard of living of the population. Increasing the living standards of the population, including people with disabilities, is a strategic priority in the state policy of the Republic of Moldova. One way to achieve this is to improve micro and microeconomic mechanisms for GDP growth. It is also important to ensure economic inclusion through the equitable distribution of income and the reduction of economic inequalities for the harmonious development of society as a whole. The purpose of the research is to highlight the essential aspects of the standard of living of people with disabilities in the Republic of Moldova in order to create adequate measures for their social protection.
