THE EURASIAN UNION AND THE FIGHT AGAINST POVERTY
https://doi.org/10.48137/2311-6412_2021_4_104
Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of poverty in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). Relative successes in the fight against poverty were achieved in some countries (Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus) in the early 2000s. In spite of this, after the global financial crises (2008–2009 and 2014–2015), the rate of poverty reduction slowed down. A common problem for EEU members obligates them to take a decisive step. One of these measures is probably the continuation of tax harmonization in the EEU.
