Why Land Rights Matter (Infographic)

75 percent of the world’s poorest people live in rural areas where land is a fundamental asset and a primary source of income, security, opportunity, and status. Yet more than half of rural families in the developing world lack either access to land or a secure stake in the land they till. Legal rights to land improve the resiliency of families so they can climb out of extreme poverty. Tangible land rights also lay the foundation for other development investments to take root, like education programs, financial services, and health care.
