Latin America has extremely high levels of social and economic inequality as well as insufficient social expenditure despite registering the highest growth in per capita GDP since the 70s. This work provides the latest estimates for the countries of Latin America regarding poverty, residential segregation, impact of social expenditure on peoples well-being and psycho-social divides. It also analyses internal migrations as well as health programmes for indigenous people and women.
