1. Overview

Once part of Spain's vast empire in the New World, Honduras became an independent nation in 1821. After two and a half decades of mostly military rule, a freely elected civilian government came to power in 1982. During the 1980s, Honduras proved a haven for anti-Sandinista contras fighting the Marxist Nicaraguan Government and an ally to Salvadoran Government forces fighting leftist guerrillas. The country was devastated by Hurricane Mitch in 1998, which killed about 5,600 people and caused approximately $2 billion in damage. Since then, the economy has slowly rebounded.

CIA's The World Factbook (2013)9

Book CoverWith glorious diving around the Bay Islands, ancient Maya ruins, historic colonial towns, Caribbean beaches and steamy mountain jungles, Honduras is waiting to be rediscovered. You´ve probably heard about the bad boy in the Central American ´hood. Even if you´ve just glanced at a headline, Honduras and trouble seem inextricably linked. In late 2009 when former President Manuel Zelaya was exiled to Costa Rica, all of the tourists went with him. But what´s the reality on the ground now? Well, despite the country´s rep, the vast majority of travelers actually love their time here, for the nation is simply loaded with attractions: the fabled Bay Islands (a dive and party mecca), the magical Maya ruins of Copán, the seductive beauty of the Lenca highlands and the wildlife-rich jungle reserves in La Moskitia.

It´s also superb value for money: all the adventure sports that have put Costa Rica on the map are available here at backpacking rates. Honduran landscapes are extraordinary, its cultural sights compelling and its people waiting. Sure, take a little extra care, especially in the big cities... but make the move and discover Honduras for yourself.

The United Nations produces an annual Human Development Report which includes the Human Development Index. The factors taken into account include life expectancy, education and schooling and Gross National Income (GNI) amongst many others..

The Social and Moral Development Index concentrates on moral issues and human rights, violence, public health, equality, tolerance, freedom and effectiveness in climate change mitigation and environmentalism, and on some technological issues. A country scores higher for achieving well in those areas, and for sustaining that achievement in the long term. Those countries towards the top of this index can truly said to be setting good examples and leading humankind onwards into a bright, humane, and free future. See: Which are the Best Countries in the World? The Social and Moral Development Index.

3. Honduras's Demographics and Migration

Population:

Honduras's population is predicted to rise to 10.66 million by 2030. This country has a fertility rate of 2.34. The fertility rate is, in simple terms, the average amount of children that each woman has. The higher the figure, the quicker the population will grow, although, to calculate the rate you also need to take into account morbidity - the rate at which people die. If people live healthy and long lives and morbidity is low, then, 2.0 approximates to the replacement rate (two new children for each set of parents who die), which would keep the population stable. If all countries had such a fertility rate, population growth would end. The actual replacement rate in most developed countries is around 2.1. The highest fertility rate ever detected in a single year was in Yemen in 1985, at 8.86.13

Honduras does relatively well in ensuring human rights and freedom, compared to many other countries. Honduras does better than average in its nominal commitment to Human Rights19, LGBT equality20, commentary in Human Rights Watch reports21, freethought22 and in eliminating modern slavery23 (but bad for The Americas). But, there's bad news too. Honduras does worse than average for opposing gender inequality24, supporting personal, civil & economic freedoms25, its average Freedom in the World rating and in supporting press freedom26 (one of the worst in The Americas). "Violent crime is rampant in Honduras... Journalists, environmental activists, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals are among those most vulnerable to violence... Marred by corruption and abuse, the judiciary and police remain largely ineffective"27.

The countries with the best overall approach to public health, in terms of both public policy and individual lifestyle choices, are Monaco, The Maldives and Sri Lanka29. These countries are worth emulating. And, although often through no fault of the average citizen, the worst countries are S. Sudan, The Marshall Islands and Nigeria29.

The data sets used to calculate points for each country are its average life expectancy, its alcohol consumption rate, its fertility rate, its smoking rate, its suicide rate, its food aid and health contributions and WHO compliance, the prevalence of overweight adults, its adolescent birth rate and its immunizations take-up. The regions with the best average results per country are Scandinavia, Asia and The Mediterranean29, whereas the worst are Micronesia, Africa and Australasia29.

Health:

Honduras does relatively well in encouraging good health, compared to many other countries. Honduras does better than average when it comes to its fertility rate14, its food aid and health contributions and WHO compliance30, its alcohol consumption rate31 (amongst the lowest in The Americas) and in its smoking rate32 (but high for The Americas). But, things could still be better. Honduras does worse than average in its average life expectancy11, its immunizations take-up33 and in its adolescent birth rate24. The prevalence of overweight adults has increased by 14% over the last 40 years. Life expectancy in Honduras improved by +7.6yrs in the 30 years from 1990, on par with the global average improvement of +7.9yrs. Honduras is amongst only 41 countries who have seen their fertility rate drop by more than 4 since the 1960s. Its peak fertility rate was 7.46 in 1960.

Honduras is 110th in the world regarding its responsibility towards the environment. This rank is derived from 6 data sets. Honduras does better than average for the rate of rational beliefs on the environment in the population36 (but bad for The Americas) and in reducing annual meat consumption per person37. But unfortunately Honduras gets most other things wrong. It does worse than average when it comes to energy to GDP efficiency38 (amongst the lowest in The Americas), its environmental performance39 (amongst the lowest in The Americas), how quickly it ratified the 1993 Convention on Biological Diversity and in its forested percent change 2000-202040.
