In a context of widespread economic growth, Pernambuco has done particularly well in recent years, similar to or above the national average. A key challenge concerns the longer-term, where – notwithstanding the positive performance of recent years-the same level of growth may not be as easily sustained. The solid economic performance has been reflected in an improvement of social indicators, also associated with the governments interiorizacao strategy, a policy developed explicitly to increase the coverage of public services in underserved areas, with a focus on the interior of the state. The decline in poverty rates displays a trajectory towards convergence with Brazil and recently, a faster than national decline of the Gini has brought Pernambucos income inequality below the national and Northeast level.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOSANITATIONLIVING STANDARDSRISKSHOUSEHOLD SIZEPOVERTY LINEWORKFORCEECONOMIC GROWTHWORK FORCEQUALITY OF SERVICESOLD AGESKILLED WORKERSILLITERACYINCOMEPOVERTY RATESHEALTH—POLICYEQUITABLE ACCESSSOCIAL RESEARCHLABOR TRANSFERSLEVELS OF EDUCATIONCOST-EFFECTIVENESSLABOR FORCELEVEL OF POVERTYINCOME TRANSFERSPUBLIC SERVICESIMMIGRANTSHEALTH CAREDEMOGRAPHIC FACTORSDEATHLEGAL STATUSSCHOOL- AGE CHILDRENCAPACITY BUILDINGSAFE WATEREXTREME POVERTY LINEINEQUALITY REDUCTIONPROVISION OF SERVICESADULT POPULATIONNATIONAL LEVELNUMBER OF PEOPLEVULNERABILITYMEASURESHUMAN CAPITAL LEVELSACCESS TO EDUCATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONINEQUITIESLABOR MARKETPOLICY RESPONSETECHNICAL CAPACITYVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSILLITERACY RATEPOPULATION CENSUSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCERURAL HOUSEHOLDSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONTRAININGEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTHOUSEHOLD HEADSERVICES FOR CHILDRENINCOME INEQUALITYDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESSOCIAL PROGRESSSECONDARY SCHOOLMIGRATIONTRANSFERSVULNERABLE POPULATIONSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEPOOR RURAL HOUSEHOLDSDISSEMINATIONWELFARE INDICATORSPRIMARY SCHOOLMIGRANTSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTEMPLOYMENT CREATIONRESPECTPULL’ FACTORSPROGRESSMIGRATION FLOWSUNEMPLOYMENTHOUSEHOLD LEVELADEQUATE NUTRITIONHUMAN CAPITALINFANTMIGRANTVOCATIONAL TRAININGOLDER PEOPLEYOUNG ADULTSUSE OF RESOURCESPOVERTY INDEXPOLICIESEQUAL ACCESSSOCIAL SERVICESPOPULATION STUDIESRUNNING WATERPOVERTY MEASUREMENTSCHOOL ATTENDANCEPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERURBAN INFRASTRUCTUREECONOMIC STATUSPENSIONSSKILL LEVELPOLICY MAKERSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTLEVEL OF DEVELOPMENTURBAN CENTERSSOCIAL POLICYRURAL INFRASTRUCTUREPUSH FACTORINCOME DISTRIBUTIONPOPULATION DENSITYURBAN AREASABSOLUTE POVERTYDISADVANTAGED GROUPSPULL FACTORRURALNUTRITIONPOPULATIONSQUALITY SERVICESIMPACT OF EDUCATIONHOUSEHOLD BUDGETPOLICYSOCIAL WELFAREQUALITY OF LIFECITIZENSECONOMIC INEQUALITYTERTIARY LEVELSEXTARGETINGPOOR ECONOMIESHIGH INEQUALITYHUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEXECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESLEVEL OF EDUCATIONQUALITY EDUCATIONEXTREME POVERTYACCESS TO GOODSACCESS TO SERVICESRURAL AREASPOVERTYPULL FACTORSIMMIGRATIONPUSH FACTORSECONOMIC PROGRESSECONOMIC OPPORTUNITYINTERNAL MIGRATIONPOPULATIONEQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITYSTUDENTSSCHOOL-AGE CHILDRENRISK MANAGEMENTPOVERTY DYNAMICSTECHNICAL EDUCATIONPOLICY RESEARCHLOCAL DEVELOPMENTPOORPRIMARY EDUCATIONPOPULATION EDUCATIONPUBLIC SPENDINGLABOR MARKETSIMPORTANT POLICYINDICATORS OF POVERTYTERTIARY EDUCATIONHOUSEHOLD PER CAPITA INCOMEHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINEQUALITYPOOR HOUSEHOLDSReportWorld Bank10.1596/22407
