Tóm tắt

 With a population of seven million, Honduras is the second most populous country in Central America. It is also the second poorest country in the region with an annual per capita income of less than US1,000. Two out of every three people in Honduras are poor (per capita income less than US1.50/day)
  and three out of every four poor people are extremely poor (per capita income less than US1.00/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.
