摘要：The current economic situation of
Latin America, while differing among
nations, can be broadly characterized
by an increase in the per capita GDP growth
rate of more than 3% per annum over the
2003-2007 period.
This has allowed a significant number of
countries to reduce unemployment and levels
of poverty and indigence. ECLAC estimates
indicate that, over the past year and on average,
some 15 million people in the region escaped
from poverty and that 10 million ceased to be
indigent. The figures suggest that, during
2006, some 36.5% (194 million) of the region’s
population live in poverty, and 13.4%
(71 million) were extremely poor or indigent.
