HAITIANS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Writer's picture: Fernando Corral TobioFernando Corral Tobio

In the bustling heart of the Distrito Nacional, Santo Domingo, Fernando, a dedicated founder and leader, embarked on a mission to understand the livelihoods of the Haitian immigrant community. He meticulously interviewed 100 Haitians from diverse backgrounds. Surprisingly, his findings revealed that a substantial 78% of these individuals were engaged in informal labor, toiling for meager wages or less, highlighting the harsh realities they faced. With a 95% confidence interval, Fernando's survey shed light on a hidden world of resilience and hardship within the Dominican Republic's vibrant capital, where the true proportion of such workers was estimated to fall between 69.89% and 86.11%. Compared to the government's and other media's negative estimates which claimed only 20% of Haitians worked. Fernando disproved this flawed statistics by showing that most Haitians do in fact work, just informally.

Haitians all around the Dominican Republic deserve better for their labor. The way firms treat them is a violation to their natural rights!
