Abstract

La pobreza es uno de los problemas sociales más importantes alrededor del mundo, un análisis preciso de este fenómeno es esencial en el planteamiento de políticas públicas encaminadas al mejoramiento de las condiciones de vida y el bienestar de los individuos. El objetivo central de este documento es proponer una medición alternativa de la pobreza multidimensional en Colombia, para ello se estimará el indicador de Bourguignon y Chakravarty, identificando a los hogares pobres a partir de dimensiones, variables y parámetros de estimación no utilizados en la metodología convencional. Uno de los resultados principales es que, si bien la incidencia de la pobreza se redujo notablemente de 2010 a 2016, la brecha y la severidad de la pobreza multidimensional no disminuyeron en la misma magnitud. Por lo tanto, millones de hogares colombianos no han presentado cambios significativos en su nivel de vida y bienestar. *** Poverty is one of the most important social problems around the world. It means that this issue should be essential in public policy and different strategies must be proposed in order to improve people’s lives and their welfare. The aim of this paper is to propose an alternative methodology of measurement of multidimensional poverty in Colombia, considering the Bourguignon and Chakravarty indicator and non-conventional dimensions and variables to identify poor households. One of the primary results is that even though headcount ratio of multidimensional poverty reduced remarkably from 2010 to 2016, gap and severity of multidimensional poverty did not decline in the same magnitude. Therefore, there are millions of households with several deprivations whose quality of live has not changed recently.
