In Latin America and the Caribbean, the problem is unfolding on a housing structure marked by a deficit.
The cost of housing is leading three out of every four people in Latin America and the Caribbean to cut other expenses, use their savings, or take on additional jobs, according to a study by the NGO Habitat for Humanity.
The research titled ‘A home, but at what cost?’, facilitated with EFE, adds that in Latin America and the Caribbean other complications arise, such as labor informality, the qualitative housing deficit, and difficulties in accessing financing.
