Abstract

En este trabajo se realiza un análisis de la pobreza y las desigualdades existentes en el Pacífico colombiano. Se estudian las razones por las cuales esta región se ha quedado rezagada frente a las demás. Para lo anterior, se lleva a cabo un diagnóstico de la pobreza utilizando cuatro indicadores: Línea de Pobreza; Índice de Necesidades Básicas Insatisfechas; Índice de Pobreza Multidimensional; y Esfuerzo Requerido. De los resultados se infiere que independientemente del indicador empleado, la incidencia de la pobreza en el Pacífico es alta; lo es aún más en Chocó y en los municipios del Cauca. Finalmente, en la búsqueda de un mejor entendimiento de la persistencia de la pobreza, se examinan brevemente aspectos como: capital humano, gasto público y conflicto armado. La evidencia sugiere que la mayoría de municipios de la región se encuentran en una trampa espacial de pobreza.
