Abstract

Este documento construye una medida de pobreza multidimensional para Bolivia, basado en todos los derechos fundamentales establecidos en la Constitución de 2008 que pueden ser medidos en las encuestas de hogares; y documenta los cambios de pobreza observados en Bolivia durante la última década utilizando un enfoque multidimensional. En particular, extendemos el análisis de HernaniLimarino (2010) de la evolución de la pobreza monetaria con nuevas mediciones de líneas de pobreza desarrollados por Hernani y Eid (2013) y un análisis que incorpora cinco dimensiones no monetarias: acceso a educación, seguridad social de corto plazo (salud), seguridad social de largo plazo (pensiones), vivienda adecuada, y servicios básicos de la vivenda (electricidad, agua, saneamiento básico y telecomunicaciones). El análisis muestra que, durante el periodo 1999-2011, la pobreza monetaria ha mostrado una tendencia decreciente acelerada a partir del año 2005, con una tasa de reducción promedio de 4.5% anual, que representa 253,364 personas por año. Por otra parte, se han observado ligeros avances en el acceso a dimensiones sociales durante el periodo 1999-2005 en el área urbana, mientras que en el área rural se han mantenido niveles altos de privación. Estos resultados han generado que la pobreza multidimensional se haya reducido en 24 puntos porcentuales durante el periodo 1999-2011 pero también un aumento de las personas con vulnerabilidad social por el comportamiento elusivo de la pobreza no monetaria en el país.
