Individual countries may combine several of these challenges
• Livelihoods altered by war and violence. Conflict-affected
• Agricultural modernization and rural-urban migration rapidly taking place. Urbanizing
• Extractive industries make a substantial contribution to exports. Resource-rich

• Youth unemployment rates and idleness rates at unusually high levels. High youth
unemployment
• An urban middle class and a large share of informal employment coexist. Formalizing
• Rapidly increasing old-age dependency ratios. Aging
