In the social sphere, the region is still caught in a tangled web of poverty, unemployment, and violent conflict. Each reinforces the other and interacts with other negative parameters at work: weak and ageing social protection systems; non-participatory modes of governance; segmentation; modest growth; and a shock-therapy approach to economic reform. The result is a serious aggravation of social vulnerability across a wide range of social strata.
