This report provides technical
assistance and capacity building on the poverty measurement
methodology of the Paraguayan government. The report makes
several policy recommendations concerning urban labor market
trends and opportunities for employment, rural factor
markets and poverty, and ex-ante evaluation of the expansion
of cash transfer programs in Paraguay. The report concludes
that in order to increase productivity it is important to
increase the quality of education and give incentives for
the youth to finish their formal education. Also, poverty
reduction policies need to be targeted at the rural poor
specifically by increasing access to land ownership.
