The World Bank has just concluded its 2024 Tonga Poverty and Equity Assessment report, which examines the extent, nature, and drivers of poverty and inequality in the country.

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.

The 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.

Register to attend in-person or online.
