Monetary poverty was 16.0% in 2025, rising to 22.1% in rural areas. Multidimensional poverty was 13.5% nationally and 30.3% rurally, directly constraining household and child stability despite growing national productive capacity.
Paraguay: no generally available nationwide domestic same-sex civil marriage is recorded in the cited legal-status review as of 2026-10-09. This is a legal-classification reading only; it does not prove demographic causation.

Non-agricultural informal occupation was 60.1% in 2025, about 1.663 million workers. Low headline unemployment therefore coexists with a very large employment-security burden, especially in rural areas and among women.

Category point adjustment: 0.00 category points
Earlier reasoning: Live-reviewed from the recovered/reconstructed Paraguay 2026-10-02 research. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Updated reasoning: Completed category-level audit. Original score and four rails retained; original summary: Paraguay produced an above-average 2025 cereal crop: maize was about 5 million tonnes and paddy about 1.4 million tonnes. That physical abundance coexists with 16.0% monetary poverty and higher rural poverty, so food production is not treated as universal free nourishment. Category-relevant indicator: Prevalence of undernourishment — food access. The source is not evidence of universal free services; score is a TBF ordinal judgement. Evidence-year and subnational gaps are detailed in the attached audit.

Updated reasoning: {"food":"School food entitlement check: Hambre Cero school meals reached 1.05 million children; MSPBS confirms free public-network healthcare services and available medicines. Both are real routes, not proof ordinary transport or utilities are free. Family-wide, all-day, everyday no-payment food was not established in this review.","housing_land":"No general national grant of suitable family housing or freely usable land without recurring payment was established by the reviewed source set. A zero means no evidenced national baseline, not no housing programmes exist.","healthcare":"Healthcare entitlement check: Hambre Cero school meals reached 1.05 million children; MSPBS confirms free public-network healthcare services and available medicines. Both are real routes, not proof ordinary transport or utilities are free. A partial assessment cannot establish every treatment, medicine or every resident is covered without money.","transportation":"No universal urban, rural and interregional fare-free family mobility provision established in the reviewed national source record. Ordinary passenger access therefore remains subject to payment.","water_energy":"No guaranteed family-wide no-bill minimum for both safe water and usable energy established by the review. Service connections and bill subsidies do not themselves remove the Money Gate."}

Durability, Repair & Material Return supporting evidence, citations, notes or rails changed without changing the category total.
Durability, Repair & Material Return
| Category field | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Published category score | 24.25 | 24.25 |
Category point adjustment: 0.00 category points
Earlier reasoning: Live-reviewed from the recovered/reconstructed Paraguay 2026-10-02 research. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Updated reasoning: Completed category-level audit. Original score and four rails retained; original summary: Paraguay has a national integrated urban solid-waste management plan and municipal planning guides, but the 2022 census found regular/public-private garbage collection at only 55.2% of occupied private dwellings. Policy capacity therefore remains ahead of universal material-return reach. Category-relevant indicator: Ambient PM2.5 exposure — not a measure of material durability. The source is not evidence of universal free services; score is a TBF ordinal judgement. Evidence-year and subnational gaps are detailed in the attached audit.

| Transportation / 4 | — | 0.00 |
| Water / Energy / 4 | — | 0.00 |
Category point adjustment: +0.73 category points
Earlier reasoning: Transitional proxy or benchmark; no invented five-part direct audit.
Updated reasoning: {"food":"School food entitlement check: Hambre Cero school meals reached 1.05 million children; MSPBS confirms free public-network healthcare services and available medicines. Both are real routes, not proof ordinary transport or utilities are free. Family-wide, all-day, everyday no-payment food was not established in this review.","housing_land":"No general national grant of suitable family housing or freely usable land without recurring payment was established by the reviewed source set. A zero means no evidenced national baseline, not no housing programmes exist.","healthcare":"Healthcare entitlement check: Hambre Cero school meals reached 1.05 million children; MSPBS confirms free public-network healthcare services and available medicines. Both are real routes, not proof ordinary transport or utilities are free. A partial assessment cannot establish every treatment, medicine or every resident is covered without money.","transportation":"No universal urban, rural and interregional fare-free family mobility provision established in the reviewed national source record. Ordinary passenger access therefore remains subject to payment.","water_energy":"No guaranteed family-wide no-bill minimum for both safe water and usable energy established by the review. Service connections and bill subsidies do not themselves remove the Money Gate."}

Updated reasoning: Four assessed rails: lawful entry; protection/residency; family continuity; cross-border accessibility. TBF authored assessments. A country immigration authority or UNHCR country document is authoritative for particular mechanisms, not all visa nationalities and fees.
Sources archived after the change (1)
Migration authorities recorded 47,687 residence applications and 40,600 residence grants in 2025. This demonstrates active settlement pathways, but access remains governed through legal residence procedures rather than unrestricted entry.

| Mutuality / Local Benefit (25%) | — | 5.00 |
| Documented Harm / Extraction (35%) | — | -10.00 |
| Accountability / Repair (15%) | — | -15.00 |
Updated reasoning: International Footprint v3.1: 25% contribution+25% local mutuality+20% other harm/repair+15% exporter+15% importer. Plastic scrap HS3915 2024 export=827536 kg, import=7386110 kg. No reported volume is NOT treated as proof of zero trade; unknown role has neutral 0 provisional. The fourth visible rail shows (exporter+importer)/2. No second waste deduction.

Updated reasoning: Completed category-level audit. Original score and four rails retained; original summary: Paraguay contains extensive river, forest and protected landscapes and maintains a national protected-area system. Public natural wealth is meaningful, but poverty, service gaps and uneven accessibility prevent treating landscape capacity as universal lived delight. Category-relevant indicator: Homicides per 100,000 — safety proxy, not public delight. The source is not evidence of universal free services; score is a TBF ordinal judgement.

Updated reasoning: Completed category-level audit. Original score and four rails retained; original summary: Paraguay has very large agricultural and rural productive capacity, but the live audit did not find a sufficiently current national measure proving broad household access to productive land. Capacity is therefore scored high while reach and gate friction remain conservative. Category-relevant indicator: Agricultural land share — not proof of no-fee land access.

Earlier reasoning: Live-reviewed from the recovered/reconstructed Paraguay 2026-10-02 research. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Updated reasoning: Completed category-level audit. Original score and four rails retained; original summary: A Ministry/UNICEF reintegration initiative returned more than 37,000 children to school and delivered targeted literacy and mathematics support, while UNICEF notes that exclusion remains material. The evidence shows real recovery capacity alongside continuing reach gaps. Category-relevant indicator: Primary education completion. The source is not evidence of universal free services; score is a TBF ordinal judgement. Evidence-year and subnational gaps are detailed in the attached audit.

Earlier reasoning: Live-reviewed from the recovered/reconstructed Paraguay 2026-10-02 research. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Updated reasoning: Completed category-level audit. Original score and four rails retained; original summary: Paraguay has a national integrated urban solid-waste management plan and municipal planning guides, but the 2022 census found regular/public-private garbage collection at only 55.2% of occupied private dwellings. Policy capacity therefore remains ahead of universal material-return reach. Category-relevant indicator: Ambient PM2.5 exposure — not a measure of material durability. The source is not evidence of universal free services; score is a TBF ordinal judgement. Evidence-year and subnational gaps are detailed in the attached audit.

Earlier reasoning: Transitional proxy or benchmark; no invented five-part direct audit.
Updated reasoning: {"food":"School food entitlement check: Hambre Cero school meals reached 1.05 million children; MSPBS confirms free public-network healthcare services and available medicines. Both are real routes, not proof ordinary transport or utilities are free. Family-wide, all-day, everyday no-payment food was not established in this review.","housing_land":"No general national grant of suitable family housing or freely usable land without recurring payment was established by the reviewed source set. A zero means no evidenced national baseline, not no housing programmes exist.","healthcare":"Healthcare entitlement check: Hambre Cero school meals reached 1.05 million children; MSPBS confirms free public-network healthcare services and available medicines. Both are real routes, not proof ordinary transport or utilities are free. A partial assessment cannot establish every treatment, medicine or every resident is covered without money.","transportation":"No universal urban, rural and interregional fare-free family mobility provision established in the reviewed national source record. Ordinary passenger access therefore remains subject to payment.","water_energy":"No guaranteed family-wide no-bill minimum for both safe water and usable energy established by the review. Service connections and bill subsidies do not themselves remove the Money Gate."}
