Abstract

El análisis de la pobreza en Costa Rica durante el período 2023-2024 mostró una reducción significativa en la tasa de pobreza monetaria, que pasó del 21,8% al 18,0%, y en la pobreza extrema, que disminuyó del 6,3% al 4,8%. Este avance fue impulsado por el crecimiento del ingreso per cápita, mejoras en la redistribución del ingreso y una reducción en el costo de vida. Sin embargo, persisten desigualdades regionales. Destaca la región Brunca como la única sin avances debido a barreras estructurales. También se observó una disminución en la pobreza multidimensional, aunque algunas regiones, como Huetar Norte, enfrentaron aumentos en la incidencia de privaciones. Las transferencias monetarias, particularmente las pensiones, y el empleo se consolidaron como herramientas clave para la reducción de la pobreza, pero se requiere de estrategias regionales específicas para abordar desigualdades y promover un desarrollo más inclusivo y sostenible.
