Yemen’s economy is severely affected by prolonged conflict, with agriculture, fishing, and remittances as the primary income sources. Political instability and humanitarian crises have devastated infrastructure and livelihoods. Government policies focus on survival rather than growth, relying heavily on international aid. Regulatory frameworks are nearly nonfunctional in many areas, deterring investment. Society is marked by widespread poverty, displacement, and limited access to basic services. Education infrastructure has collapsed in many regions, and climate challenges, including water scarcity, exacerbate food insecurity. Healthcare is critically underfunded, with dire consequences for public health.
