Abstract

Poverty as a multidimensional phenomenon can be approached from different points of view. In this paper we study poverty in large towns in Spain taking into consideration three different definitions: a) relative monetary poverty, or scarcity of resources as compared with population averages, b) poverty measured through physical indicators, i.e. deprivation of certain goods, and c) subjective poverty. This last one appears to be related to inequality, which is also considered and analyzed. The source of statistical information used is the Spanish Household Budget Survey of 1990–91. Possibilities and drawbacks of this survey in the analysis of poverty and inequality are also reviewed. La paureté est un phénomène multidimensinel qui peut être defini de facons diverses. Dans cet article nous étudions la pauvreté dans les grandes agglomérations unbanes en espagne de trois points de vue diférents: la pauvreté objective, mesurée sur des indicateurs monetaire_le Revenu ou les dépenses‐et qui se define par raport a des valeurs moyens de la distribution, la privation evaluée avec des indicateurs physiqes, c'est à dire, l'absnce de certains elements d'équipement d'équipement du foyer considerés comme neccessaires, et la pauvreté subjective, qui est fondée sur la perception que les foyers ont de leurs besonis. Les resultats obtenus obtenus avec cette demire méthode sont trés liés a ceux de l'inégalité, q'on étudie aussi. l'étude a été fait sur ls données de l'Enquête budgetaire des Ménages de 1990–91. On a tenu compte des poibilités et des problèmes de cette enquête.
