The rural human face of human development: Guatemala 1999

In addition to considering the subjects of the previous report, this second report focuses on the rural world. It tries to understand different circumstances that affect people living in the countryside. Most Guatemalans live in rural areas, and the report stresses that these areas produce the most important employment and currency sources. Rural areas also see the bloodiest moments of armed conflict.
