Inequality in the Era of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: North and Central Asia Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UN. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN. ESCAP) This study considers issues pertaining to inequality and its causes in North and Central Asia, based on multidimensional indicators that are now available. It reviews where these countries of North and Central Asia stand in terms of reducing both inequality of outcomes and opportunities through cross-country comparisons. Challenges surrounding inequality of opportunities for selected social groups, namely women, young and older people, rural population and migrant workers are examined. Several concerns come to light: (1) Women tend to be both underpaid and underrepresented in decision-making processes, even though they are economically active and educated; (2) Young people are more likely to be unemployed, which could lead to social displacement; (3) Aging population in selected countries could jeopardize current pension systems which currently cover almost all older persons; (4) a rural-urban divide in terms of access as well as quality of public services remain; and (5) working conditions of migrants are precarious.

Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN. ESCAP) В этом исследовании рассматриваются вопросы, касающиеся неравенства и его причин в Северной и Центральной Азии, на основе многомерных показателей, которые в настоящее время доступны. В нем рассматривается положение этих стран Северной и Центральной Азии с точки зрения сокращения как неравенства результатов, так и возможностей путем межстрановых сравнений. Рассматриваются проблемы, связанные с неравенством возможностей для отдельных социальных групп, а именно женщин, молодежи и пожилых людей, сельского населения и трудящихся-мигрантов. Выявляется ряд проблем: (1) женщины, как правило, недоплачивают и недопредставляются в процессах принятия решений, даже если они экономически активны и образованы; (2) молодые люди чаще становятся безработными, что может привести к социальному перемещению; (3) старение населения в отдельных странах может поставить под угрозу нынешние пенсионные системы, которые в настоящее время охватывают почти все пожилые люди; (4) сохраняется разрыв между городом и селом с точки зрения доступа, а также качества государственных услуг; и (5) условия труда мигрантов нестабильны.
