Key findings:
The study results indicate high economic vulnerability among respondents: 74% of those surveyed are women, and for 54%, state living assistance remains the primary source of income. Statistics show deep social depression - 60% of families have only enough funds for food, and 86% do not plan to move in the next six months due to active hostilities or the occupation of their home regions. Key findings for the community's strategic planning include the need to address the housing issue (through social housing or rent compensation) and the necessity of overcoming employment barriers, where 25% of IDPs experience biased treatment.
