Journal Article
Poverty, Income Growth, and Inequality in Some Caribbean Countries
1998
Overview
Some evidence is gathered that identifies and describes the extent of poverty and inequality in some Caribbean countries. Among the social indicators reflective of poverty, the data for the Caribbean countries suggest that literacy rate, life expectancy and daily caloric intake are positively correlated with the level of per capita GDP, while crude birth rate, infant mortality rate, percentage of total population not expected to survive to 40 and Human Poverty Index are negatively associated with the level of per capita GDP. Second, the fragmentary statistical data for Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago suggest that increases in per capita income tend to reduce income equality.
