It highlights structural inequalities across the life cycle, suboptimal learning outcomes despite high enrollment, and unequal access to healthcare. The assessment analyzes slow school-to-work transitions, limited job creation quality in the private sector, vulnerability to shocks, and the need for an equitable fiscal policy and a comprehensive data ecosystem.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nFrom wealth to inclusion:  \npathways for poverty reduction and middle-class expansion in Equatorial Guinea  \nPOV E RTY A ND EQU ITY ASS ESS ME NT  \n2 02 5  \nFrom wealth to inclusion:  \npathways for poverty reduction and middle-class expansion in Equatorial Guinea  \nPOV E RTY A ND EQU ITY ASS ESS ME NT  \n2 02 5  \n© 2025 International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW, Washington DC 20433 Telephone: 202-473-1000  \n[Internet:](Internet: www.worldbank.org)[ www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nRights and Permissions  \nThe material in this work is subject to copyright.
