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.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTUREAGRICULTURAL FRONTIERAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL SECTORBASIC INFRASTRUCTUREBRIDGECAPACITY BUILDINGCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSCHILD MORTALITYCHILD MORTALITY RATECOUNTRY CASECYCLE OF POVERTYDEGRADATIONDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDISSEMINATIONDIVERSIFICATIONDRIVERSECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC OPPORTUNITYECONOMIC SHOCKSECONOMICSFARM EMPLOYMENTFARM EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESFARMERSFOOD POLICYFOOD SECURITYGLOBAL ECONOMYHIGH POVERTYHOUSEHOLD ASSETSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFRASTRUCTUREINFRASTRUCTURE PROVISIONINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTELANDLAND RIGHTSLAND USELANDHOLDINGSLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVELIHOOD CHOICESLIVELIHOOD STRATEGIESLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMALNUTRITIONMARKET ECONOMYMIGRATIONNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENTNATURAL SHOCKSPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOORPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOOR POLICIESPOPULATION DENSITIESPOPULOUS COUNTRYPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRODUCTION SYSTEMSPROVISIONPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC POLICIESPUBLIC PROGRAMSROADROAD INFRASTRUCTURERURALRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL ECONOMYRURAL EMPLOYMENTRURAL GROWTHRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL INVESTMENTRURAL POORRURAL POVERTYRURAL POVERTY REDUCTIONRURAL POVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESSELF-EMPLOYMENTSMALL LANDHOLDINGSSMALLHOLDER FARMINGSMALLHOLDER HOUSEHOLDSSOCIAL SERVICESSUBSISTENCESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTARGETINGTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRANSACTION COSTSTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT SERVICESUNEQUAL DISTRIBUTIONURBAN CENTERSVULNERABILITYWorld Bank10.1596/10315
