Other information

Living conditions and remarks

The smallest country in Central America, El Salvador ranks third in population (6.5 million) among the six Central American countries. It is the most densely populated country in Central America and ranks in the 83rd percentile worldwide in terms of population density. El Salvador has experienced modest economic growth in recent decades, with annual GDP growth exceeding 3 percent only twice between 2000 and 2020 but achieved a significant decline in poverty and inequality. El Salvador also has a high exposure to natural hazards, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts, including more frequent occurrences of floods, droughts, and tropical storms, all of which disproportionally affect poor and vulnerable populations. Despite these challenges, El Salvador has great potential to boost its economic growth. The country’s strategic location, with access to many markets, a growing labor force, and a solid industrial base could help to expand trade to achieve stronger and more inclusive growth. Development goals could be achieved with a long-term commitment to structural reform, quality job creation and investment in human capital.
