La pobreza en México: evolución reciente, explicación y perspectivas

Abstract

Using a very important dimension of the capabilities approach, agency freedom, we want in this work to demonstrate that poverty in Mexico can be seen as a cause of the lack of agency freedom. For this we take as a proxy of agency freedom the responsibility in its three categories: The subsequent responsibility, the previous responsibility and the otherness responsibility. And as a poverty proxy the the labor trend index proposed by the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy in Mexico (CONEVAL). Using a MCO we show that the data is significant at the level of Federal Entities.
