Change in household ownership of productive assets Assets are generally classified as productive assets (if linked to a livelihood and income generating activities) and household assets. Loss of assets may imply a deterioration of the households' possibility to face a future shock and an increase their level of vulnerability. Total of assets owned by a household are also a proxy for its level of wealth.
