Corruption In Haiti

Haiti has been ranked as the poorest and most corrupt county in the western world world. Few positive

remarks could be stated about Haiti. Agriculture contributes the most to GDP, the economy has

suffered from political instability, corruption and poor governanc to the extent that the GDP has

contracted rather than expanded.

Its long history of political upheaval where immense concentration of incomes cause's 80

percent of the population to live below the poverty line which leaves them with some hard

development issues that lie ahead.

Haiti is a resilient society whose rural communities in particular have developed coping

mechanisms in response to a long history of underdevelopment and political instability

Haiti is also full of poverty and inequality, economic decline and unemployment, poor

governance, and violence.

A certain percent of the population is involved with what seem fairly desperate efforts,

the making of charcoal from almost every source of wood, including cactuses this is a way of

bringing in some kind of income yet doing this is causing more and more burnt land and

less vegetation if you look at a picture of Haiti and the Dominican republic you can latterly

see the line where they meet because Haiti has no lush green space and the Dominican

republic does. Family sizes are large so there is overpopulation thus causing people to

push out of the northwest to overcrowded port-au prince and less desirable land

which is more fragile. There is a lack of water, grass and diseases is the northwest witch

makes farming very difficult. No matter what the people of Haiti turn to make a living there is always a problem since starting a business

in haiti takes four times longer than the world

average. Business freedom and freedom from corruption proved to be the major

weaknessin terms of economic freedom.thus making most labours in haiti assume

temporary employment.Yet the majority of jobs come from subsistence farming and

agriculture the down side 63% of the land is too step by agronomics standers for

agricultural production, thus causing the unemployment.

To make matters worse loans from commercial banks virtually unattainable, since most

banks lack stability. The first page talk's soly about haiti and why it's corrupted ,why the

people are in poverty and why the country is in tormaol.The next part of the paper I will

be talking about what coorruption is why its caused how it can be prevented and what I

think will become of haiti.
