دانلود کتاب Crisis and rural poverty in Latin America

The Global Financial Crisis will directly
affect Latin America, although the
consequences for each country will differ. In this
adverse setting, an analysis is needed of how
the continent’s rural sector, particularly the rural
poor, will be affected. This document attempts
to respond to the possible outcomes for the ru-
ral population in the present financial crisis,
particularly the rural poor in the following 11
countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican
Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,
Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru.
Two criteria were used to select the countries
studied in this report. First, countries that have
high poverty rates that are above the regional
average. Second, those countries identified as
having the largest number of rural poor in the
region, specifically Brazil and Mexico.
