Sustained Growth in Haiti: Pipe-Dream or Realistic Possibility?

Chapter 11 in Poverty in Haiti, 2011, pp 188-217 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract For several decades, the Haitian economy has been one of the most fragile in the Caribbean region. Essentially, this is due to the insufficient natural resource base of the country, with the slowly but steadily increasing population pressing on a shrinking agricultural land area. Employment opportunities have been few outside of agriculture, and the inevitable result has been that per capita income has declined over time for at least half a century, probably more.
