Abstract

Este artículo analiza las disparidades territoriales desde el punto de vista de la pobreza entre el Norte Grande Argentino (NGA), históricamente más rezagado, y las restantes regiones del país en el periodo de 2003 a 2016. A partir de datos de la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (EPH), se estima el índice de pobreza multidimensional (IPM) basado en el método de Alkire-Foster, en atención a las dimensiones de vivienda, servicios básicos, educación, empleo y seguridad social, e ingresos. Se encuentra que hubo una disminución de la pobreza en todas las regiones y, entre 2011 y 2016, una significativa reducción de las asimetrías regionales, que, aunque alentadora, debe relativizarse por distintas razones. ****** This paper analyses the territorial disparities in terms of multidimensional poverty between the Norte Grande Argentino and the other regions of the country in the period 2003-2016. Using data from Encuesta Permanente de Hogares, the paper presents estimates of a Multidimensional Poverty Index based on the Alkire-Foster methodology which considers the dimensions of housing, basic services, education, employment and social security, and income. Results indicate that there has been a reduction in poverty across all regions and, between 2011 and 2016, there has been a significant reduction in regional disparities. Although encouraging, this result must be relativized for different reasons.
