dc.description.abstractThis report highlights the lived experience of Yemeni households when it comes to livelihoods and food insecurity. As Yemen has been grappling with multiple crises and the repercussions of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, multiple challenges - including shrinking access to income, disruptions in imports, and further currency depreciation, have exacerbated the precarious living conditions of Yemenis. This report briefly describes the results of a phone survey completed in August and September of 2022, showing the precarity of living conditions and livelihood options across the country, but highlighting worse conditions amongst parts of the population. Employment conditions and food security are worse off in rural areas, amongst the displaced and in the areas under Houthi control. Those working in elementary occupations and in the construction, manufacturing or agriculture sectors are also worse off. Amid a devastating and protracted conflict, with limited information on the living conditions in Yemen, a phone survey was carried out to monitor food insecurity and livelihoods. The survey, implemented in August and September 2022, seeks to provide a snapshot of the situation for Yemeni households. The survey draws on a probability sample of 1,297 respondents, 623 of whom are based in rural areas, while 480 and 193 are living in urban and semi-urban areas respectively. Most of the respondents are male (1,045 men vs. 252 women). The results suggest that almost one-quarter (23 percent) of Yemeni households are currently displaced due to the conflict, with differences by area of residence. For example, relatively more displaced households are based in semi-urban and urban areas compared to rural areas. Some (16 percent) of the households that were once displaced have returned to their pre-conflict places of residence. But the prevalence of return from displacement differs depending on area of residence and area of control.en
