Risk factors, conditions and triggers of conflict

In addition to having a unique history, political and cultural background, and political motivations, socio-economic and environmental stresses feature commonly in conflict-prone and conflict-ridden countries. These stresses often include income and social inequalities, also across ethnic groups, limited political representation of minorities, a rich natural resource endowment, and environmental hazards that have diverse impacts on different social groups. These conflicts are also often exacerbated by high levels of unemployment and extreme poverty, especially among young people.
