    • The plantation workers are divided into three categories: meseros, who are salaried employees such as the chauffeur, tractor driver, teachers, and office manager and who are not included in this study; colonos, who are permanent workers and ganadores who are temporary workers, often the sons of colonos, and may be laid off during the slack season.

    • According to Pansini [12, p. 310] for rural coverage, employers pay only 3% of a worker's salary while workers pay on 1%. Whereas Pansini [18], says that plantation owners and their workers had to pay a combined 81/2% of the total salaries for IGSS coverage. I do not know what accounts for this disrepancy, unless there was an increase in the required payments between 1975 when the first study was carried out and 1979 when the second report was made.

    • There are 100 centavos to 1 quetzal. At the time of the study the quetzal (Q), the Guatemalan currency, was equivalent to 1 U.S. dollar ($). Although the price has varied in recent years, in 1986 it stabilized at around Q2.50 to $1. However, there has also been very high inflation since the study was done, including increased prices of staple foods of corn and beans which has placed even worse economic constraints on the people, and worsened the health and nutrition status of the population.
