Description: Case study of poverty in Barbados that uses qualitative measures such as unemployment, violations of human rights, increased migration, weakening of family ties, and reduced social and political participation as well as financial resources. The authors argue that these elements combine to reduce the quality of living conditions for large sectors of Caribbean society.
