Resumen
Descripción
With a population of seven million,
Honduras is the second most populous country in Central
America. It is also the second poorest country in the region
with an annual per capita income of less than US$ 1,000. Two
out of every three people in Honduras are poor (per capita
income less than US$ 1.50/day); and three out of every four
poor people are extremely poor (per capita income less than
US$ 1.00/day). Social indicators such as child malnutrition
rate (17 percent), life expectancy at birth (66 years),
child mortality rate (32 per 1000 births), and literacy rate
(less than three-quarters of the population) are among the
poorest in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region.
