For all the talk of progress and development, the DR is still leading the region when it comes to its inability to reduce levels of social inequality. The Latinobarometro 2008 supports this perception, awarding the DR 64 out of a possible 70 points. The report also identifies the perception that the DR government only works for the nation's rich, not its poor. According to the study, 89% believe the government governs on behalf of a few powerful entities. This is the highest percentage in the region. Though the numbers are disappointing, Latin America as a region has done little to reverse this trend with only 21% of countries succeeding in reducing inequality.
