Question on the poverty in Haiti?

Question

Is anyone familiar with Haiti and the issues concerning this country? Why does this country deal with such horrible poverty? Especially since the Dominican Republic next door on the same island does not have the same issues?

Answer 1

First, I'm going to say that in the country side there is also extremly poverty in the Dominican Republic.

Haiti continues to suffer the consequences of the 1991 coup and the irresponsible economic and financial policies of the de facto authorities greatly accelerated Haiti's economic decline. Following the coup, the United States adopted mandatory sanctions, and the OAS instituted voluntary sanctions aimed at restoring constitutional government. International sanctions culminated in the May 1994 United Nations embargo of all goods entering Haiti except humanitarian supplies, such as food and medicine. The assembly sector, heavily dependent on U.S. markets for its products, employed nearly 80,000 workers in the mid-1980s. During the embargo, employment fell from 33,000 workers in 1991 to 400 in October 1994. Private domestic and foreign investment has been slow to return to Haiti. Since the return of constitutional rule, assembly sector employment has gradually recovered with over 20,000 now employed, but further growth has been stalled by investor concerns over safety and supply reliability..

Answer 2

The people of Haiti have a bit more to deal with than poverty.
I am unsure of the statistics, however many are HIV positive, and would be too ill to work.
Haiti is also steeped in a mixture of Catholicism and voodoo, which they hope will get them out of their horrible existence.
Mainstream education has not been kind to the Haitians, in part caused by their unwillingness to let go of their religious/cult beliefs.
After all, education is power, this is why the Dominicans are a republic.
