Abstract

A pobreza tem sido objeto de muitos estudos nos últimos anos e as análises têm evoluído de uma análise tradicional, baseada em dados quantitativos e medidas unidimensionais, representadas pela linha de pobreza, para uma análise mais qualitativa e multidimensional. Considerando as diversas dimensões nas quais os indivíduos sofrem privações, sem negar a importância da renda monetária, o objetivo do presente trabalho é apresentar os aspectos qualitativos da pobreza, por meio da identificação das dimensões de vida mais valoradas pelas próprias pessoas. A base do estudo está na abordagem seniana das capacitações e na realização dos primeiros passos da metodologia de Alkire e Foster (2007) para o cálculo de um índice multidimensional de pobreza. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram pessoas residentes no município de Silveira Martins, localizado na região central do Rio Grande do Sul. A aplicação dos primeiros passos do método AF permitiu identificar nove dimensões de pobreza como as mais valoradas pelas famílias que foram alvo da pesquisa. Palavras-chave: pobreza; abordagem das capacitações; dimensões de vida; método Alkire-Foster; medidas multidimensionais Abstract Poverty has been the subject of many studies in recent years and the analyses have evolved from a traditional analysis, based on quantitative data and one-dimensional measurements, represented by the poverty line, to a more qualitative and multidimensional analysis. Considering the various dimensions in which individuals suffer privations, without denying the importance of monetary income, the aim of this paper is to present the qualitative aspects of poverty through the identification of those life dimensions most valued by people themselves. The study is based on Sen's Capability Approach and on completing the first steps of the methodology for calculating a multidimensional poverty index, proposed by Alkire and Foster (2007). Survey respondents were residents in the municipality of Silveira Martins, located in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul. It was possible to identify nine dimensions of poverty as the most valued by household research targets. Keywords: Poverty, Capability Approach, Life Dimensions, Alkire-Foster Method, Multidimensional Measures
