DocumentOther documentPoland, Bulgaria and Romania: Social Impact of Discount Food Retail in Remote Regions 2011
Also available in:
No results found.The first objective of the study is to summarise the conclusions on social impacts of discountand organised retail formats on the more remote areas of countries with economies comparable to Poland, Romania and Bulgaria over a longer period of time, whilst gathering general demographic and socio-economic data/indicators for each country and providing guidance on splitting these countries into geographic areas (i.e. from relatively disadvantaged to relatively well-off) to help identify locations o f investment. The second objective is to validate/qualify the conclusions from the first objective through a study of discount and organized retail formats operating in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria, and to draw inference and apply these conclusions to judge the prospective social impact of potential investments in remote areas of Romania and Bulgaria. The analysis and conclusions in this report draw upon a combination of different sources of information and insights. The first source is existing studies. The second source is statistical material from a variety of sources that could be collected through desk study work. The third source is statistical data and qualitative information we had collected in previous studies which is relevant for the current report.
