Abstract

El artículo es una aproximación teórico–reflexiva a la desigualdad y la pobreza en la ciudad de San José de Cúcuta, frontera entre Colombia y Venezuela. Muestra factores asociados al desempleo, analiza temas como la mendicidad, la limosna y el rebusque desde un entorno socioeconómico, recopila información mediante la aplicación de una encuesta semiestructurada (aleatoria) a una población específica: los agentes que determinan la práctica permanente de economía informal en la ciudad. Los resultados expresan una población proveniente, en su gran mayoría, de diferentes regiones del país, asociada a aspectos no solamente de índole económico, sino sociales como el desplazamiento forzado (conflicto interno armado y violencia), que han provocado la instauración de los mismos en la ciudad, generando problemas en salud, educación y seguridad, entre otros.
