Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The Paciﬁc is the region of Colombia with the greatest economic lag and the lowest living standards of its population. The objective of this study is to investigate poverty in the Colombian Paciﬁc, taking as a reference the multidimensional approach, applying diﬀerent identiﬁcation methodologies and aggregation indicators. The main result is that despite the reduction in poverty between 2010 and 2018, it has not been systematic and has presented much more moderate levels than the situation in the rest of the country; in particular, the region has great deﬁciencies in education levels and access to health.
