Poverty remains one of Curaçao’s most pressing social challenges, with an estimated 30 percent of the population living below the poverty line, according to figures discussed during a seminar organized by the Association of Dutch Caribbean Economists, better known as the “Economenclub.”
The seminar brought together experts from the Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS), the Sociaal-Economische Raad (SER), the Ombudsman of Curaçao and social advocate Ana Maria Pauletta to examine the realities of poverty on the island.
