Abstract

El enfoque de esta documento es analizar la problemática de la posesión y acceso a activos por parte de los pobres. Los activos privados, públicos y de organización son los principales determinantes del flujos de gastos e ingresos de las familias, y son por lo tanto cruciales para determinar si una familia logra salir de la pobreza. En ese sentido, las políticas públicas deben estar cuidadosamente a dirigidas a resolver las inequidades en el acceso a determinados activos que son susceptibles de intervención estatal y que facilitan el acceso, la acumulación, así como el incremento de la rentabilidad de los activos de los hogares. Con este fin, este documento evalúa en primer lugar la naturaleza, características y evolución reciente de la pobreza en el Perú, así como las tendencias en la distribución de los ingresos/gastos y los activos.. Luego se efectúa una taxonomía de los activos de la población, mostrando la dispersión existente así como las diferencias en la posesión y acceso de activos por parte de los más pobres. Con estas herramientas se establecen relaciones entre los distintos tipos de activos y el status de pobreza, asi como la movilidad de los hogares en la escala de ingresos/gastos. Además, se determina el efecto de la tenencia o acceso de ciertos activos públicos u organizacionales sobre la rentabilidad de ciertos activos privados.
