Abstract

Este documento, analiza el impacto de los desastres sobre las dimensiones del Índice de Pobreza Multidimensional (IPM) a nivel municipal y del hogar en Colombia, con el objetivo de determinar la correlación y la posible relación causal entre estas variables. Tomando datos municipales de corte transversal del IPM, sus 15 variables de privación para el 2005, y un agregado de desastres ocurridos por municipio desde 1976 hasta 2005, se encuentran que los desastres naturales tienen un impacto significativo sobre la pobreza en Colombia. Adicionalmente, usando datos de las encuestas de calidad de vida (ECV) realizadas para los anos 1997, 2003, 2008 y 2010 se replica el ejercicio utilizando los hogares como unidad de análisis. Particularmente el estudio da luces sobre la necesidad de tomar acciones específicas para minimizar el número de muertes, reducir la vulnerabilidad en sectores de educación y sobre la ninez y la juventud y atender de manera expedita los efectos negativos sobre las condiciones de los hogares más afectados por estos eventos.
