    WHY IS THERE A LOT OF POVERTY IN HONDURAS?

    Why is there a lot of poverty in Honduras?

    Honduras is a small country located in Central America. Actually, Honduras has

    approximately 8 million of people, some of them live out of the country mainly in USA

    and Spain. The majority of people who live in Honduras live in poverty. Which are the

    main causes of poverty in Honduras? This country has gone through several political

    problems but the main causes of these problems have been: political corruption in

    government system, lack of quality education, lack of job opportunities and increase of

    teenagers in gangs.

    First of all, the political system from Honduras is known to be corrupt. Big part

    of the population hate politic leaders for being the main responsible of the poverty of our

    country, due to the corruption in government system for instance: Police Institutions,

    Justice Institutions, National Congress, Hospitals and so on. One of the famous scandals

    of corruption has been the social welfare and health care lead by the ex-director Dr. Mario

    Zelaya ex-politic officer of the National Party. According to La Prensa newspaper Dr.

    Mario Zelaya stole more than 335 million dollars, it is the reason why he is in prison now

    (Orellana, 2011).

    Another key point of poverty in Honduras is the lack of quality education. It is a

    main effect of the bad administration of Honduran institutions. Due to the fact that the

    majority of public schools and high schools dont have pedagogic conditions to teach the

    students a quality education; only the 6% of Honduras population is studying in the

    university. Due to this, the economic situation that Honduran is suffering. According to

    Instituto Nacional de Estadisticas (INE) done in 2017, a study shows 60.9 % of people

    live in poverty and 38.4% of them are living in extreme poverty (INE, 2016).

    On the other hand, the lack of job opportunities is a critical problem that affects

    all Honduran family. No matter what is your education position it affects in general. For

    that reason, people decide to leave our country, facing up situations which putting their

    lives at risk, and trying give their families a better life out of their country. 1 million of

    Honduran live in United State; it represents a 12% of the Honduran population.

    As a result, it has a huge consequence in family disintegration. Parents normally

    leave their homes and children begin to have a change of behaviors without the

    appropriate supervision. Consequently, young people, mainly teenagers between the ages

    of 14 to 20, they begin to meet bad friendships in their lives. Some of them fall not only

    in gangs better known like Mara Salvatrucha or Mara 18 but also they ingest alcohol,

    cigarettes and drugs.

    To sum up, Honduras is a poor country, owing to these and other facts that affect

    directly the economy of our nation. To see a change, firstly we have to change ourselves

    and love our country. Then, we have to help other people no matter if you don`t have

    money you can help people in different ways for instance giving clothes or food to the

    needy; as a result, Honduras will become a better country to live in harmony.
