Abstract

El objetivo del artículo es evaluar los aspectos teóricos y empíricos de una intervención sobre los hogares colombianos que usan lena, madera o carbón de lena para preparar sus alimentos. Los resultados del modelo logístico multinomial estimado senalan que la probabilidad de utilizar combustibles alternativos aumenta con el nivel de ruralidad, mientras que disminuye con el acceso a otros servicios públicos. El estudio propone el uso de estufas mejoradas para cocción con lena para mejorar la calidad de vida de esta población, entre tanto se disminuyen los impactos negativos sobre el medio ambiente. A partir del análisis de datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Calidad de Vida (ECV) de 2018, se identifica una demanda potencial por estufas de lena mejoradas de 1 680 826 hogares con un ingreso promedio de COP 852 373 en los departamentos de Antioquia, Boyacá, Cauca, Córdoba, La Guajira y Narino. La intervención planteada puede mejorar el proceso de empoderamiento de la mujer rural cabeza de familia de bajos ingresos, especialmente su manejo del tiempo y finanzas personales. *** The objective of the article is to evaluate the theoretical and empirical aspects of an intervention on Colombian households that use firewood, wood or charcoal to prepare their food. The results of the estimated multinomial logistic model indicate that the probability of using alternative fuels increases with the level of rurality, while it decreases with access to other public services. The study proposes the use of improved stoves for cooking with firewood to improve the quality of life of this population, while reducing negative impacts on the environment. From the analysis of data from the 2018 National Quality of Life Survey, a potential demand for improved wood stoves is identified from 1,680,826 households with an average income of COP 852,373 in the departments of Antioquia, Boyacá, Cauca, Córdoba, La Guajira and Narino. The intervention proposed here can improve the empowerment process of rural women heads of low-income families, especially their time management and personal finances.
