It examines why poverty fell for a decade but later slowed, how living conditions and human capital improved outcomes, and how inequality worsened despite economic growth. The assessment explains constraints faced by poor households, including low human capital, dependency burdens, limited access to services, and the reinforcing drivers of poverty across generations. It outlines policy implications focused on human-capital investment, service delivery expansion, and productive job creation through structural transformation.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nTANZANIA MAINLAND POVERTY ASSESSMENT  \nTanzania’s Path to Poverty Reduction and Pro-Poor Growth  \nPART 1  \nPub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nSTANDARD DISCLAIMER  \nThis volume is a product of the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/The World Bank.
