Key Findings

- Puts 2014 GDP per capita at US$824 in Haiti against about US$6,000 in Latin America.
- Records almost 60 percent of the population below the national poverty line and 28.9 percent in extreme poverty, against under 10 percent in Latin America.
- Notes the Gini coefficient at 0.6, the highest in Latin America, and almost 70 percent of the population under 30.
Full Description
The IDB's project profile for the fifth operation in its education reform series in Haiti. Its justification section assembles the comparative figures the Bank used to make the case, setting Haiti's income, poverty and inequality against Latin American averages, which is why it is worth reading beyond the operation itself.
