To be fair, I’m pretty sure much of the shantytowns in Haiti could be described as having shacks. It’s a very depressing situation there with no easy solutions.
Shantytowns exist, but do most people in Haiti live in them? Or is that just the perception because news media makes more money portraying it that way?
At least on German Wikipedia it says that 58.5 % of the population in Haiti live below the relative (!) poverty line. Over two thirds of the people at employable age are said to not have a regular job. More than half are malnourished.
Is the overall consensus in the USA that the situation in Haiti is much better than what is written on Wikipedia?
