Abstract

La evidencia empírica ha demostrado la importancia de la nutrición en los estados de salud, el desempeno escolar y la productividad laboral de los individuos, así como en el crecimiento económico. Debido a que una de las regiones con más deficientes situaciones nutricionales en Colombia es la del Pacífico, este documento explora el rol de esta condición en la perpetuación de la pobreza en la región y sus determinantes directos. Entre los problemas estructurales encontrados como insumos para la persistencia de los círculos de pobreza basados en nutrición en la región se encontraron: la relación entre la actividad minera y la violencia, el limitado desarrollo de la articulación vial y las condiciones de empleo de los hogares. *******ABSTRACT: Empirical evidence has shown the importance of nutrition in health status, school performance and work productivity, as well as economic growth. Being the Pacific of Colombia one of the regions with the worst poor nutritional status, this paper explores the role of this condition in the perpetuation of poverty in the Colombian Pacific and its direct determinants. Among the structural problems listed as inputs for the persistence of nutrition-based poverty trap in this region are: the relationship between mining and violence, limited joint development of road and employment conditions of households.
