The Dominican Republic (DR) suffers from a large income gap dividing the rich and the poor and is one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean. The government has made great improvements in limiting inflation in recent years and in growing the economy, yet unemployment is still a major challenge. The DR shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, its poorer western neighbor. Many Haitians illegally relocate to the DR to seek higher paying jobs, but in many cases they find brutal working conditions and discrimination.
