The history of Iraq over the past decade
is a stark example of increasing vertical and horizontal
inequalities, preceding and following a period of violent
conflict. This paper uses a cross-section of
individual-level nationally representative survey data to
study relationships around how adults in Iraq report
confidence in national institutions, quality of life, and
quality of service delivery. The findings show that positive
perceptions across these categories declined during
ISIS-control and have slowly picked up in recent years. Men
are more likely than women in the post-ISIS period to report
lower country leadership approval ratings, a weaker standard
of living, and depressed job prospects. The analysis finds
that self-identified Shias, Kurds, and adults living in
Baghdad are significantly more likely to have a poorer
quality of life, compared with Sunnis, in the post-ISIS
period. Nearly all ethno-religious groups, in all periods,
perceive the government to be corrupt. |
