This World Bank assessment uses findings from the 2021 Household Income and Expenditure Survey and compares them with the 2015/16 to highlight poverty patterns and trends.

This hybrid seminar will present key findings from the report, as well as other ongoing analytical works in the Pacific region.

Please note: the seminar will take place at 12.30pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time.
