This chapter uses information available as of 2014 to set out the current situation of Latin America regarding poverty and income distribution. According to ECLAC estimates, average poverty and indigence rates did not alter significantly in the region as a whole between 2012 and 2014, which raises doubts about the prospects for progress in these areas over the coming years, given the current economic environment. However, examination of the figures for the individual countries shows that a number of these did make progress in reducing poverty and indigence indicators, while others experienced reverses in the same period.
