Caribbean Migration Project: report on Saint Lucia

ABSTRACT

This study examines Caribbean migration patterns and their effects on the agricultural sector with particular reference to production, consumption and gender roles. This report on Saint Lucia complements a similar report on Jamaica and covers results of a national survey of 1000 households in which 66.6 percent of the respondents were household heads. The results of the study support the view that migrant farm households are generally better off in terms of land control and use, production, incomes, household improvements and amenities, food consumption patterns and perceptions of living standards (AU)
