Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to provide insights into the quantitative importance of the various factors affecting poverty among small farmers and landless rural households in Colombia. We present a profile of rural poverty, first based on household characteristics of the total survey population across income quintiles, then by separating households according to whether they are primarily agricultural, landless agricultural or rural non-agricultural. The second part of the analysis involves an econometric estimation of the determinants of income for each of these groups. Both analyses are based on the CASEN2 1993 household survey data.
