´´ Agriculture has been particularly affected, with sustained losses in production, storage, and livestock, affecting agricultural income and employment, as well as food security. IDP and IDP-hosting households have been hardest hit by loss of livelihoods and displacement. Food shocks reached 40 percent of IDPs in affected governorates and close to 20 percent of non-IDP households´´

´´ The main factors encouraging or deterring the return of IDPs are linked to the security situation and the delivery of services in their place of origin vis-à-vis conditions in the areas of displacement. Impacts • If IDPs are not given opportunities to return to stability (livelihoods, security, etc.), some groups, particularly young people, could resort to violence and covertly support groups like ISIS. • ISIS imposed strict restrictions on gender roles, undermining roles women had played in the past. Exclusion from the work force and loss of male breadwinners exacerbate their vulnerability. • Iraqis between fifteen and twenty-four constitute nearly 20 percent of the population but had limited education and employment opportunities. They, in turn, became prime candidates for recruitment by ISIS and other armed groups. • In IDP camps, young men and women remain vulnerable and at increased risk to gender-based violence and exploitation´´.
