转型经济体面临的挑战是什么?

自1989年以来，邮政后国家在其转向市场经济的政治，经济和社会结构和机构方面发生了相当大的变化。Many people have migrated from the region to other countries (e.g. the UK), to live and work, whilst those left behind have found themselves facing severe political unrest and economic uncertainty—characterized by rising levels of inequality, increased rates of unemployment, and greater job informality, plus a mortality crisis and a significant drop in GDP and life satisfaction. While the economies are recovering, the “human costs” of transition (e.g. increased rates of alcoholism and a so-called “iron curtain of unhappiness”) persist.
