The Poverty of Haiti and Dominican Development - Julio Ortega Tous, former DR trade negotiator.
The poverty of Haiti is the main obstacle to Dominican development. Anyone could be lead to believe that is an exaggerated statement. But it is not. Dominicans accomplish very little incorporating development policies if the conditions that generate profound poverty of the eight million that live in Haiti continue. Dominican development is deformed. Our economic growth is a magnet that attracts non-skilled labor force, with precarious sanitary conditions, that pull back the model development of our country to levels that should have been overcome.
