Análisis comparativo de la pobreza multidimensional urbana y rural en Ecuador. Periodo 2009-2020

Abstract

Abstract: Generally, poverty is measured through family income or consumption, thus giving a monetary vision. This perspective provides a limited picture of the human well-being, unlike the multidimensional approach, which challenges the paradigm focused on money and recognizes human beings as possessors of rights and with basic well-being needs. In this context, the objective of this work is to carry out a comparative analysis and determine whether there are differences between urban and rural populations in terms of poverty multidimensional. For this purpose, a descriptive methodology with quantitative data was used. taken from the ENEMDU surveys from the years 2009-2020, this methodology is a approach that evaluates poverty from a multidimensional perspective, identifying the simultaneous deprivations that people face. By analyzing the data and comparing the rural and urban populations of the country, in global terms, It is evident that there has been great progress in reducing multidimensional poverty, However, the gap between these areas is still very large and there is a lot to work on in terms of of public policies.
