Land Markets and the Persistence of Rural Poverty: Post-Liberalization Policy Options

Michael R. Carter and Eduardo Zegarra

Chapter 4 in Rural Poverty in Latin America, 2000, pp 65-85 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The rural poor have few resources and economic endowments with which to generate their livelihood. Ironically, the resources they do have, especially labor, are often underutilized. Direct access to land can be critical as a means to fully employing labor resources, especially when other sources of employment and income are weak.
