This article provides an overview of the extensive poverty in the South Caucasus. It provides measures of income, employment, resource consumption, material deprivation, and access to utilities and durable goods. Factors like the development of fossil fuel resources in Azerbaijan, the democratization of Georgia, and the presence of a large diaspora outside of Armenia have not improved the situation for these countries.
