The Romanian government recognizes that
there are current and future problems related to the risk of
old-age poverty among elderly farmers, and has been working
on sustainable solutions to avert this risk. The main
objective of this report is to provide recommendations to
the policy makers in Romania in designing a non-contributory
program for poor elderly, including farmers. To this end,
the report (i) evaluates the current semi-subsistence
farming structure and the income situation of farmers in
Romania, including access to EU support programs; (ii)
provides an overview of the social protection currently
available to elderly farmers in Romania through the existing
social insurance and social assistance system; and (iii)
presents options for a non-contributory scheme for the
elderly poor, including farmers, and analyzes the fiscal and
poverty impact and the administrative feasibility of each option.
