OECD's comprehensive 2010 review of labour market and social policies in
Estonia. It finds that since Estonia regained its independence in 1991, its
labour and social policies have been marked by a strong commitment to fiscal
prudence, flexible markets, and work incentives. Labour market performance
steadily improved during the mid-1990s and beyond, until the advent of the
global economic crisis in 2008. Estonia was not well prepared for the slowdown
and its economy has been hit especially hard. The downturn has required
painful policy adjustments. Today, Estonia’s public social spending remains
among the lowest in the OECD; its social programmes support persons in need,
but the benefits they receive are usually modest and some of the jobless
receive no benefits. However, the country offers one of the world's most
generous parental-benefit programmes and has begun to phase in a three-tier
pension system.
