Rural Poverty, Women and Indigenous Groups in Latin America

In: Rural Poverty in Latin America

Author

Abstract

Empirical evidence clearly suggests that rural poverty disproportionately affects indigenous people and women throughout Latin America. However, there is considerable debate on the variables that explain this heightened vulnerability to poverty, as well as on the likely impact of market expansion and/or economic growth on these groups. This chapter reviews the available empirical evidence, analyzes the key debates surrounding the topic and identifies the mechanisms that appear most significant in explaining the phenomenon.
