Abstract

En este documento se estudia los efectos de las transferencias públicas y privadas en los indicadores de pobreza. La alta incidencia en términos del número de personas que reciben estas transferencias y de los montos de estas justifica este estudio. Se utiliza un método que permite estimar el ingreso de las personas sin estas trasferencias y posteriormente identificar el cambio en los indicadores de pobreza debido a la ausencia de estos recursos. Se encuentra que la tasa de pobreza promedio entre el 2015 y 2016 sería cinco puntos porcentuales mayor a los datos oficiales en ausencia de las transferencias, siendo la mayor contribución en este monto el de las transferencias privadas. Además, un porcentaje relevante de las transferencias privadas provienen de regiones vecinas, razón por la cual una proporción alta de la población en situación de pobreza se beneficia del crecimiento económico de otras regiones.
