Abstract

Cartagena de Indias registra la mayor exclusión social entre las principales ciudades colombianas. Este artículo evalúa el nivel de desarrollo humano y los determinantes de la pobreza en la comuna 6, donde predomina la población afrocolombiana. Con el marco analítico de pobreza urbana, capacidades y estructura de oportunidades, y una base ad hoc para estimar un modelo probit como estrategia empírica, se elabora un perfil de pobreza diferenciado para esta extensa zona, con un enfoque espacial. Los resultados muestran que las variables laborales, étnicas –con evidencia concluyente a favor de blancos– y capital social explican las privaciones en esta comuna. ****** Cartagena de Indias has the highest social exclusion among the main cities in Colombia. This paper evaluates human development and the determinants of poverty in the commune 6, where the Afro-Colombian population predominates. Based on the structure of the analytical framework of urban poverty, capabilities and opportunities, and an ad hoc database with probit model as an empirical strategy, we elaborate a differentiated poverty profile for this large area, applying spatial criteria. The results reveal that the labour ethnic variables -with conclusive evidence in favour of white people- and social capital explain the deprivations in this community.
