Living Plans

SUMMARY

The economic downturn is reflected in households' livelihood strategies. While cutting back on spending is a top priority, plans to work and take on extra jobs are increasing in the coming period. However, the proportion of those not taking any extra steps is also rising. This suggests that some households may have largely exhausted their viable strategies. In general, households tend to continue with the strategies they have adopted in the recent period.

This section explores the livelihood plans of the community:

• What do you plan to do in the coming period to provide for your household, maintain your economic situation, or improve it?
