Según informaciones del diario "Rabochaya Gazeta" de Ucrania, the percentage of population of Belarus with income below the scale which marks the threshold of poverty in the Republic, fell by seven in the period between 2001 and 2008, from 41'9% to 6.1%. The real incomes of the population in that period multiplied by 3. The correlation between the 10% of more affluent citizens and 10% of the poorest in 2009 was 5'9 points (think that Russia comes to 34). It is an indicator significantly lower than that recorded in other countries of the former USSR.
However the current crisis has also affected significantly in 2009 to the Belarusian economy and these encouraging results in the fight against poverty and income growth have been slowed during the past year. According to Igor Starovoitov, Minister of Labour and Social Security, as of today, the poverty rate stood at 7.3%
