It analyzes evolving poverty patterns, including rural-urban and regional differences, poverty profiles, and multidimensional poverty. The report evaluates household income sources and labor-market developments, reviews the role and targeting of social assistance, and assesses climate-change risks, adaptation, and mitigation implications for vulnerable populations.","Public Disc losure Authorized  \nDisc losure Authorized  \nPublic  \nPub lic Disc losure Authorized  \nPub lic Disc losure Authorized  \nOpportunities  \nfor reducing poverty and inequality  \nin Costa Rica  \nWORLD BANK POVERTY AND INEQUALITY ASSESSMENT  \nOpportunities  \nfor reducing poverty and inequality  \nin Costa Rica  \nWORLD BANK POVERTY AND INEQUALITY ASSESSMENT  \nWORLD BANK POVERTY AND INEQUALITY ASSESSMENT   \nTable of contents  \nExecutive summary  ................................................................................. 11  \nChapter 1 Introduction  ............................................................................... 21  \nChapter 2 Background  ............................................................................... 27  \n2.1 Economic growth before the pandemic ....................................................28  \n2.2 The economic recession induced by COVID-19................................................32  \n2.3 Structural factors pertinent for interpreting poverty trends .......................................36  \n2.3.1 OECD accession and fiscal consolidation ............................................. 36  \n2.3.2 Education trends............................................................. 38  \nChapter 3 Poverty and shared prosperity  ..............................................................45  \n3.1 National poverty and inequality trends ....................................................47  \n3.2 Rural/urban and regional disaggregation ...................................................51  \n3.3 Poverty Profiles .................................................................... 57  \n3.4 Multidimensional Poverty .............................................................66  \nChapter 4 Trends in household income sources  ........................................................ 73  \n4.1 The contribution of labor to household income declined in poorer households ..........................75  \n4.2 Subgroups driving the decline in labor income ...............................................78  \nChapter 5 Labor market  .............................................................................. 87  \n5.1 Sector-level changes did not favor workers with lower levels of education .............................89  \n5.2 Deteriorating labor market outcomes felt lower in the income distribution .............................94  \n5.3 A snapshot of the labor market in 2021 ................................................... 101  \nChapter 6 Social assistance  .........................................................................109  \n6.1 Costa Rica’s social assistance system .................................................... 111  \n6.2 Targeting of social assistance programs ................................................... 115  \n6.3 Contribution of social assistance to poverty reduction ......................................... 117  \nChapter 7 Climate change  ........................................................................... 125  \n7.1 Climate change risks ............................................................... 127  \n7.2 Adaptation and mitigation efforts ....................................................... 133  \n3  \nOPPORTUNITIES FOR REDUCING POVERTY AND INEQUALITY IN COSTA RICA  \n7.3 Implications for poverty and the poor .................................................... 135  \n7.3.1 The implications of a changing climate ..............................................135  \n7.3.2 The implications of Costa Rica’s adaptation and mitigation measures...........................138  \nAnnex 1 Background on gender  ..................................................................... 142  \nAnnex 2 Comparison of ENAHO to other data sources  ................................................. 144  \nList of figures  \nFigure ES1.
