World Bank Income Classification:Low Income
The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.
Least Developed Country:Yes
Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.
Gender Inequality Index:0.575
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
Gender Development Index:0.723
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

People in the Caribbean equitably access and utilize universal, quality and shock-responsive, social protection, education, health and care services. (Outcome 4)
The results of an evaluation of the UN Joint Programme on Adaptive Social Protection in the Eastern Caribbean (Co-Led by WFP and UNICEF, with UN Women, FAO and ILO as PUNOs) with confirmed that social protection can be adapted to be shock-responsive in both ‘vertical’ and ‘horizontal’ dimensions – as well as over time (for example, through supporting childcare services that enabled women to access job/skills training and access the labour market in St. Lucia. UN Women successfully led the component of this project on reducing unpaid care work through supporting access by women beneficiaries of public assistance through providing stipends from 2020 to 2021. In 2022, UN Women built on the results of these experiences by successfully mobilizing further resources from the Government of Canada to continue this pilot and St. Lucia and extend it to 4 more countries (Dominica, Grenada, and St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines). Institutional arrangement to support this initiative were initiated in 2022 and it is expected that there will be further progress towards this outcome in 2023, the result of which should lead to increased access by women to shock and gender-responsive social protection services.Disclaimer and notes
