  abstract = {{T}his paper focuses on {L}ebanon, a country which covers some 10,450 km2 and has received the largest influx of refugees from {S}yria in proportion to its own nationals. {I}n 2015, {S}yrian refugees represented about a quarter of the {L}ebanese population, according to data from the {U}nited {N}ations {H}igh {C}om-missioner for {R}efugees ({UNHCR}). {T}he {I}nternational {M}onetary {F}und ({IMF}) considers {L}ebanon to be an upper-middle income country and estimated its average per capita income to be {US} $15,077 in 2014. {H}owever, high income inequality and poverty rates are also widely acknowledged ({UNDP}, 2008; {H}am-dan and {B}ou {K}hater, 2015). {N}o recent poverty assessments are available for {L}ebanon. {T}he {U}nited {N}ations {D}evelopment {P}rogramme ({UNDP}, 2008) found that 28.5% of the {L}ebanese population was poor, measured as living on less than $4 a day. {D}ata released by the {C}entral {A}dministration for {S}tatistics ({CAS}) based on a 2011-2012 household budget survey are similar, indicating that 27% of the {L}ebanese population were poor. {R}egional disparities are stark. {P}overty is particularly pervasive in {B}ekaa and the {N}orth governorates, and these are also the main areas of arrival of {S}yrian refugees ({T}able 1 and 2 in {A}nnex).},
