Territory, development and exclusion, in the Huayacocotla region

Abstract

In this case study, the limitations that the poverty trap generates in the development of regions that are characterized by the dispersion of localities, small population and difficulties in communication were analyzed. The occupation opportunities provided by the primary activities were calculated and the possibilities of occupation in other sectors were identified through documentary review (public health, education and public administration) to determine the possibilities of the region to provide employment and its characteristics. It was found that the poverty trap condition generates precarious living situations among the population and condemns them to a future in precarious work environments, since it does not offer them opportunities to develop in labor markets outside the place of origin, in circumstances of equity, which condemns them to a life of exclusion and poverty.
