It documents COVID-19’s burden alongside other shocks from 2015–20 as major contributors to overall poverty increases, while assessing how multiple deprivations constrain household welfare and economic opportunities. The assessment also reviews inequality dynamics, labor market constraints, and the roles of the fiscal system and private transfers in shaping poverty and equity outcomes.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \n“Poverty Reduction Setback in Times of Compounding Shocks”  \nMozambique  \n—Poverty Assessment—  \nJune 2023  \nPoverty and Equity Global Practice  \nAfrica Region  \nTable of Contents  \nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY ........................................................................................................................................... 8  \nINTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................................................... 11  \nCHAPTER 1: BACK-TO-BACK SHOCKS HAVE ERASED SOME OF THE GAINS IN POVERTY REDUCTION .................... 13  \n1.1 TURBULENT YEARS IN THE RECENT PAST HAVE PUT MOZAMBIQUE ON A LOWER GROWTH TRAJECTORY ....................................13  \n1.2 A MORE CHALLENGING ECONOMIC CONTEXT TRANSLATED INTO HIGHER POVERTY................................................................16  \n1.3 THE UNEVEN DISTRIBUTION OF POVERTY ACROSS THE MOZAMBICAN GEOGRAPHY ...............................................................19  \n1.4 POVERTY CHANGES WERE DRIVEN BY COMPOUNDING SHOCKS .........................................................................................25  \nDocumenting the burden of COVID-19 on poverty ............................................................................................. 25  \nOther shocks during the 2015-20 period are responsible for half of the overall poverty increase ....................27  \n1.5 IN ADDITION TO LOW INCOMES, HOUSEHOLD WELFARE AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES ARE CONSTRAINED BY DEPRIVATIONS IN MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS..................................................................................................................................................31  \nHuman capital accumulation ............................................................................................................................. 34  \nEducation ........................................................................................................................................................... 34  \nHealth and nutrition ...........................................................................................................................................37  \nAccess to services (water, sanitation and electricity) ......................................................................................... 39  \nHousing conditions and assets ........................................................................................................................... 40  \n1.6 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND POVERTY ...................................................................................41  \nPoverty elasticity and passthrough rates in Mozambique .................................................................................41  \nPoverty outlook ..................................................................................................................................................43  \nCHAPTER 2.
