It analyzes spatial and horizontal disparities, the characteristics of poverty linked to youth, informality, and low education, and multidimensional deprivation in services and assets. The report evaluates barriers such as human capital, quality job access, fiscal system impacts, and exposure to climate shocks, then proposes policy directions to accelerate inclusive growth and resilience.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nParaguay Poverty and Equity Assessment:  \nStrategies to Boost Inclusive Growth and Poverty Reduction  \n© 2024 International Bank for Reconstruction and Development  \n1818 H Street, N.W.
