Abstract

Este documento presenta una metodología para medir la diversificación de los medios de vida de los hogares. Esta medida, junto a los niveles de ingresos de los hogares, nos permite clasificarlos según la vulnerabilidad que estos pudieran tener. Aplicamos análisis de regresión para detectar los factores y estrategias asociadas a resiliencia y a vulnerabilidad. Los resultados muestran que la estrategia más importante para lograr resiliencia es que los hogares cuenten con una esposa que aporte a los ingresos del hogar. Esto todavía no es común en Bolivia, ya que muchas mujeres se ocupan exclusivamente de las labores del hogar. Un segundo factor importante es la edad del jefe de hogar. Los hogares jóvenes son muy vulnerables porque no han tenido tiempo para acumular el capital humano, financiero y social que les podría permitir crear otras fuentes de sustento para el hogar. Algunos de los resultados más sorprendentes es que los hogares urbanos son considerados más vulnerables que los hogares rurales, mientras que el género o la etnicidad son irrelevantes. El documento concluye con una lista de recomendaciones para la implementación de políticas.
