It summarizes 2022 headline statistics, profiling who is poor, where poor households live, and how poverty varies by geography, ethnicity, household size, education, and age. The annex explains key deprivation drivers—chronic illness, disability, low education, limited ICT skills, and lack of health insurance—and reviews how poverty evolves alongside macroeconomic and labor-market conditions, including trends from panel data and data-quality considerations.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nANNEX 1.  \nSURINAME: POVERTY AND EQUITY DIAGNOSTIC  \nSURINAME  \nPOVERTY AND EQUITY ASSESSMENT  \nCONTENTS  \nKey Findings 6  \n1.
