Poverty remains endemic in 2022, with major barriers to basic food and widespread multidimensional deprivation. The report highlights limited agricultural resilience, deteriorating food security over nearly 15 years, and rising exposure to shocks such as high food prices and flooding. Even households with education or salaried work face continued risk.","South Sudan  \nPoverty and Equity Assessment 10 KEY FINDINGS  \nPOVERTY AND INEQUALITY  \n1 Poverty is endemic:  \n8 out of 10  \nSouth Sudanese were living in poverty in 2022  \n7 out of 10 can't afford basic food needs.  \nPublic Disc losure Authorized  \nPub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \n2 Poverty decreases with higher education, but it still remains high:  \n83%   compared to of households headed by individuals  \nwith little or no education are poor  \nof those with  \na university degree.  \n42%    \n| 3 Agriculture is the main employer, but farmers are more likely to be poor:\u003Cbr> |  |  | 4 Multidimensional poverty* is nearly universal:\u003Cbr> |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 71% of households rely on agriculture |  | but 81% of agricultural households are poor. |  | 92.6% of the population experiences deprivation in education, access to services, asset ownership, and housing quality. |\n\nNearly all South Sudanese households  \n99.7%  \nare at risk of remaining in  \nor falling into poverty, including those headed by highly educated or salaried workers.  \n5  \n6 Poverty has increased over time.

It considers various aspects of a person's life to determine if they are poor. These aspects include monetary poverty, education, health, and living conditions.  \n** Source: Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Report, November 2024","cbCaianIUJ7B92Pk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaianIUJ7B92Pk","pdf",191258,4,1,"English","en",105,"# Poverty and inequality\n## Education-linked poverty and household hardship\n## Agriculture, employment, and persistent deprivation\n# Food security\n## Deterioration and acute insecurity trends\n## Drivers such as low production and market access\n# Shocks and resilience\n## Prevalence of shocks and limits of coping strategies","[{\"question\":\"How widespread is poverty in South Sudan in 2022?\",\"answer\":\"Poverty is endemic: eight out of 10 South Sudanese were living in poverty in 2022.
