Abstract

This chapter tries to address a question that is to a certain extent a puzzle: Can we explain the self-reported improvement in well-being of Colombians between 1997 and 2003 by using multidimensional poverty indexes? And it is puzzling because during this period Colombians experienced the worst economic recession of the twentieth century (1998), erasing a decade of progress in poverty reduction and reversing the levels of poverty to 1988 levels.
