Abstract

Abstract:The present work of curricular integration seeks to analyze the multidimensional poverty of the homes of the Loja canton, through a cantonal analysis for the year 2017 and parochial for the year 2019. The study makes use of the Alkire and Foster methodology to calculate the multidimensional poverty. Four dimensions were considered: Education, Work and Security Social, Health, Water and Food, and Habitat, Housing and Healthy Environment. The results obtained reflect that rural areas have higher rates of multidimensional poverty, in comparison to the urban areas of the canton, among the deprivations that have greater incidence, are unemployment or inadequate employment, extreme poverty due to income, overcrowding and the lack of an excreta sanitation service. Finally, It is concluded that poverty has a higher incidence in rural areas since they do not have with easy access to education, basic services, work and health services in general.
