It analyzes labor conditions, productivity constraints, and human capital challenges affecting better jobs, then evaluates household livelihoods beyond work, including the role of private transfers, remittances, and domestic transfers, alongside social protection efficiency. The assessment also links poverty vulnerability to climate risks, highlighting food and water shortfalls and resilience needs.","Public Disc losPublicureDisclosureAuthorizedAuthorized Public PublicDisclosureDisclosureAuthorizedAuthorized PublicPublicDisclosureDisclosureAuthorizedAuthorized PublicPublicDisclosureDisclosureAuthorizedAuthorized  \nImproving lives and livelihoods  \nPoverty and Equity Assessment for El Salvador 2024  \n© 2024, International Bank for Reconstruction and Development World Bank  \n1818 H Street N.W.  \nWashington D.C. 20433, United States of America Telephone: (202) 473-1000  \n[Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nIn [Spanish: www.bancomundial.org](Spanish: www.bancomundial.org)  \nEmail: [feedback@worldbank.org](feedback@worldbank.org)  \nRights Reserved  \nThis volume is a product of the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank.
