The Moldovan government is expected to democratise and modernise a social and health service system that was originally subordinated to a highly centralised, authoritative and planned system in Moscow. The newly independent Moldova has embarked upon the transformation of its political and economic institutions. Legislation has been criticised for diverting funding needed to alleviate poverty into building a market economy. Government policy depends on how problems are conceptualised and their causes analysed, whether critical social dimensions are taken seriously, and on the degree to which the public and private sectors in the human services are integrated through the social work profession.
