According to the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI), 8.5 million people were in financial poverty last year. However, the ComexPerú analysis warns that the number poor in the country will be higher.
The INEI measurement considers a person to be poor who can spend less than 378 S/378 on a basket of basic goods and services, but this is not the only way to measure poverty.
Given that people face various deprivations that prevent them from developing their abilities and go beyond monetary, there is a dimension multidimensional poverty. It measures a person’s shortcomings in terms of education, health, and housing conditions.
According to ComexPerú, 38.9% of the Peruvian population suffers from multidimensional poverty, i.e. almost four out of every 10 Peruvians.
Prevalence poverty multidimensionality is greater than monetary in all departments, with the exception of Callao.
According to this indicator, the poorest departments would be Loreto (60.8%), Huanuco (54.1%) and San Martín (53.6%), as Puno, Pasco and Huancavelica are mainly affected by poverty in monetary terms alone.
Also, in the case of Madre de Dios poverty will be more than INEI estimates. Monetary poverty in this region is 7.7%, and according to the multidimensional indicator it reaches 43.7% of the population.
“This is a prime example that although monetary poverty has been reduced, it has not translated into closing gaps for its inhabitants,” ComexPerú points out.
The areas with the lowest levels of multidimensional poverty are Callao and Moquegua, where it is estimated that two out of 10 people suffer from it.
