Resumen
Descripción
This report uses household surveys to
provide a diagnostic of poverty, human development, and
access to basic infrastructure. The report is based on
analytical work conducted by a team comprising staff from
the World Bank, Honduras' "Programa de Asignacion
Familiar (PRAF), and the International Food Policy Research
Institute (IFPRI). The objective of the present report is
limited. It provides a diagnostic of the state of poverty
and other indicators of well-being instead of suggesting an
overall poverty reduction strategy or providing detailed
policy reform options. It is intended as an imput for the
Government's Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP)
within the context of the country's participation in
the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative for
debt relief. Some key findings are: There is uncertainty as
to the change in poverty because different assumptions used
for poverty measurement have lead to different conclusions
as to the trend in poverty in the 1990s. The probability of
being poor increases with the number of babies and children,
the fact of being from an indigenous population, and the
fact of having a household head unemployed, underemployed,
and/or female. Poverty decreases with education and
employment in non-agricultural occupations. Geography and
programs for rural productivity also reduce poverty.
Progress is suggested by the Human Development Index and the
fact that the share of all households nationally with no
unmet needs increased.
