Abstract

RESUMENEl presente trabajo pretende encontrar respuestas sobre la relación entre crecimiento económico y bienestar social, expresado este último en términos de pobreza. Existen dos posiciones, una que afirma que el crecimiento económico lleva a mayores niveles de empleo en la ruta hacia la reducción de la pobreza; y la otra que senala que el crecimiento económico es sólo uno de varios factores para la reducción de la pobreza. Lo que es evidente es que el Perú con crecimiento económico positivo en los últimos anos ha tenido una reducción exigua de la pobreza, y se adjudica la responsabilidad a condiciones tales como el bajo nivel de educación, la importancia del sector informal y de la micro y pequena empresa y la concentración del empleo de calidad en las principales ciudades del país.ABSTRACT This paper tends to find answers about the relationship between economic growth and social welfare expressed this last in terms of poverty. Positions on this matter are divided. The first one assures that economic growth brings to an increase in employment and therefore to poverty reduction; and the other one supports that economic growth is just one of the elements needed to fight against poverty. It seems to be obvious that in Perú, the positive gross domestic product shown for the last years has only driven to an exiguous poverty decrease. Low education level of the economically active population, informality in the labor market, the remarkable participation of micro and small enterprise in the economic activity, and the deep peruvian centralism, which concentrates good quality employment in the main cities of the country, are claimed to be responsible for this behavior.
