It synthesizes findings on who and where poverty is concentrated, compares trends across countries, and details how growth has been partly pro-poor over 2004–21 while persistent challenges remain. The report examines household income structures, barriers linked to education quality, unequal labor opportunities and wages, uneven access to services and housing, constraints on social assistance, and vulnerability to climatic shocks.","Fast Tracking poverty reduction and prosperity for all Dominican Republic Poverty Assessment 2023  \n© [2023] International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW Washington DC 20433 Telephone: 202-473-1000  \n[Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank with external contributions.
