Abstract

One way to increase the efficiency of budgetary outlays on social benefits in Russia is to replace the existing multiple income support programs with a universal last-resort benefit, which targets the poorest with some sort of means testing technique. The practices of the United Kingdom and Georgia, two countries that chose this approach to reforming their national social support systems, provide some insights into the issues that Russia will quite likely have to address in the nearest future as well.
