Analysis of interviews with young coca and poppy growers in Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru.
The document presents the main results and findings in interviews realized to 38 young coca and poppy growers. This research was carried out in four Latin American countries: Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, and Peru. The objective was to identify the main characteristics of these young people, as well as understand the incentives and contexts that encourage them to stay in this activity or to make a change in the future. Besides, we identified similarities and differences in the conditions of the participants among these countries.

Latin American Report 2011
The Report highlights the existence of significant territorial gaps and their impact on the unequal development possibilities of the territories. It is structured in two main sections. The first deals with territorial inequality. The average figures for socio-economic indicators in each country often conceal significant variations between territories, whether between urban and rural territories or between different political-administrative units. Thus, some social indicators in a given country may make it appear that there are no problems in the area they measure, given their average value, but hide the fact that this average is made up of results from territories in which the indicator is indeed satisfactory and results from other territories where it is clearly unsatisfactory.
Latin American Report on Poverty and Inequality 2013
In the Latin American Report on Poverty and Inequality 2011, we noted that Rimisp – Latin American Centre for Rural Development – is in the camp of those who believe that regional inequalities, especially when they are of the magnitude we have seen in Latin America, are indeed a problem and an obstacle to development.
Latin American Report on Poverty and Inequality 2015
Rimisp – Latin American Centre for Rural Development proposes that the territorial approach is more effective in reducing development gaps. In terms of gender, this statement is an invitation to consider the characteristics of women and territorial dynamics in an integrated manner in order to reduce inequalities between men and women.
Latin American Report on Poverty and Inequality 2017
