Abstract

La mayoría de los gobiernos del territorio nacional vienen anunciando, en los últimos anos, descensos significativos de la pobreza como un éxito derivado de sus propios actos. Sin embargo, la percepción de los colombianos no concuerda con dichos descensos. Por ello, es pertinente establecer medidas complementarias, que tengan en cuenta la percepción de quienes se consideran pobres, con el propósito de erigir políticas públicas más certeras para mitigar y superar las consecuencias negativas de la pobreza. Este documento muestra una estimación de la línea de pobreza subjetiva, a partir de tres métodos, para la ciudad de Tunja en 2015, que permite evidenciar que el DANE subestimó la pobreza de la ciudad al menos en un 30 %.
