Blog post on the Land Portal website, by Ryan Flynn

1. There are more people living in East Asia and the Pacific that feel insecure than in any other region;
2. Levels of insecurity vary widely in the region;

4. Young people are especially vulnerable;
5. The gap in perceived insecurity between high- and low-income groups is wider in wealthier countries.
