The written history of Paraguay is short, the land was originally inhabited by various nomadic and semi nomadic tribes with a rich oral culture. 500 years ago, it was conquered by the English Crown, 1810, freed himself and became an independent republic.
The subjugation of the Guarani Indians did the mixing of whites with them. In spite of the genocide of the Guarani Indians, who today represent only 1.7% of the Paraguayan population, Guaraní is still the most widely spoken language. In the Cities, however, spoke more English.
Since its formation history of Paraguay has not changed. There is still a country whose development by the power interests of neighboring and developed countries, unstable governments, scarred by corruption, and is limited by the plundering of its natural resources.
The lack of a strategic poverty reduction through the state and the president himself, instead of populist and represented exclusively to individual population groups directed only problemmildernden measures can not hope to improve the chances of meeting the basic needs for the vast majority of the population.
In Paraguay, the state leaves much of the country to its fate, which is the lack of hospitals, schools, basic services like drinking water and electricity significantly.
For Health System:
with per capita health expenditure of $ 31, Paraguay is third from last place in Latin America.
81% of the parag. Population have no health care. The proportions of deaths of mothers at birth is among the highest in Latin America. 27% of children are given birth outside of hospitals, that is, with natural healers, birth attendants, or neighbors.
The absence of a policy is in high malnutrition rates expressed. 14% of Paraguay's population is malnourished and 9% of children are underweight to the world.
are According to the UNICEF, in Paraguay 35 000 children under five years of serious malnutrition, 141 000 children in this age group and 45 000 pregnant women who are at nutritional risk.
educational situation:
The Constitution is the nine-year compulsory education free of charge. From official statistics and surveys of education is apparent, however, that a large part of the population will benefit from this right.
the most disadvantaged groups (rural population, residents of urban slums, girls, indigenous and disabled people) is to visit public schools made largely impossible. The number of illiterates is estimated at 27.4%.
The indigenous population is without doubt the most disadvantaged. On average, the school they attended was 2.2 years. One in two Indians is illiterate.
Although the Education and Culture Ministry in 2005 had set a target of building 600 new classrooms have been completed, ultimately only 50.
