But serious social problems persist. The Latin American Center for Rural Development (Rimisp) presents the Latin American Report on Poverty and Inequality (2011). The Rural Territorial Dynamics Program, Rimisp and partners, analyzed census data and national surveys of households in 10,000 municipalities covering 400 million people living in 11 countries. The document describes territorial inequality and analyzes implications of these inequalities in public policies and their relation to institutional capacities.Text1 digital file (22 p. : ill.)application/pdfenLATIN AMERICASOCIO-ECONOMIC INDICATORSINCOME DISTRIBUTIONREGIONAL DISPARITYDEMOCRATIZATIONSOCIAL CHANGEGOVERNMENT ROLERURAL COMMUNITIESRESOURCE ALLOCATIONREGIONAL POLICYLOCAL GOVERNMENTSynthesis Report
