Abstract

En este trabajo se realiza un análisis de las condiciones de pobreza, centrándose en las condiciones materiales, medidas por el índice de Necesidades Básicas Insatisfechas (NBI), para los períodos censales 1973, 1985, 1993 y 2005. Se propone una forma de medir el grado de prevalencia de trampas de pobreza, la exclusión, la vulnerabilidad y el escape de condiciones críticas de la pobreza, de acuerdo con algunos planteamientos de Deaton (2015) en su obra “El gran escape. Salud, riqueza y los orígenes de la desigualdad”. Los resultados apuntan a la existencia de un patrón centro-periferia en la prevalencia de la pobreza. Las condiciones de vulnerabilidad, exclusión y rezago son más predominantes en las regiones Caribe y Pacífico. Estas regiones son también las que deben realizar mayores esfuerzos para cerrar las brechas sociales territoriales. ******ABSTRACT: In this paper we conduct a study of poverty, focusing on the analysis of the material conditions, as measured by the Unsatisfied Basic Needs Index, for census periods 1973, 1985, 1993 and 2005. We propose a way to measure the degree of prevalence of poverty traps, exclusion, vulnerability and the escape of critical conditions of poverty, according to the approach by Deaton (2015) in the book “The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality”. The results point to the existence of a core-periphery pattern in the prevalence of poverty. The predominance of vulnerability and exclusion, as well as the existence of those left behind, are more prevalent in the Caribbean and Pacific regions, which happen to be the places with the highest required efforts to close the social gaps.
