| description |
Based on the analysis of the household
budget survey, the report identifies a nationally widespread
poverty, pervasive in rural areas, concentrated in four
governorates. The factors that affect the risk of being poor
in Yemen are lack of education, large households that
include several children, geographical location that
prevents access to income generation, and, lack of worker
remittances from abroad. In addition, while public
expenditures in social sectors (education and health), are
mildly pro-poor, they do not address the magnitude of
rural-urban, and gender gaps, and, by and large, social
programs are urban biased, mostly benefiting the better-off.
Incidentally, the benefit-incidence analysis of the safety
nets, show that coverage is extremely limited, and that
short-term downturns, and poverty vulnerabilities fail to be
addressed. Most importantly, the report outlines that
although programs under the second phase of the Social
Development Fund are pro-poor, the inter-governorate
distribution of both the Public Work Programs, and the
Social Welfare Fund allocations, show no signs of pro-poor
targeting. It is suggested to pursue structural, and
institutional reforms, so as to introduce changes in the
governance structure, that would ensure a pro-poor pattern
of growth, one that would not widen the gap between the poor
in urban vs. rural areas. Moreover, public investments in
the social sectors should be improved, and public
expenditures for those sectors increased. |
