Journal-Public Economy, 2019

Several scholars of the issue of poverty point out that the different ways in which poverty is conceptualized and quantified are of the utmost importance because various poverty measures tend to capture different people as poor. In that sense, this research work seeks to conduct a theoretical and empirical research on theories of poverty, poverty measures and results. Also, we discuss the conceptual framework of the different poverty measures.

“The (re) production of poverty”: Theory and practice applied to the study of cases

Far from being defined as a purely economic situation, poverty involves deeper aspects that make it necessary to treat it as a complex phenomenon, which should contemplate several dimensions, none of them exclusive of any other Therefore, we wondered: What are the features or the relevant conditions that a person must have to be characterized as poor? What does the concept of poverty involve? What are the implications of the use of such conceptualization? Is the way to handle this issue the right one? What changes should be carried out to achieve it effective eradication? Thus, the paper aims to explain and analyze the « poverty » concept, its contents, the implications and effects of its use, which could be translated as the reproduction and institutionalization of those concepts which the word « poverty» itself describes.

THE GENESIS OF WEALTH AND POVERTY IN THE CONTEMPORARY AGE

This article aims to demonstrate that wealth and poverty cannot be treated in isolation, since they are the sides of the same coin forming an irreducible set. The analysis of wealth cannot be dissociated from poverty, as the concentration of wealth generates exploitation, which is a founding element of poverty. This means saying that the dogma that promoting the concentration of wealth and income would be the means for economic development and overcoming poverty is a capitalist fallacy. There is a general thought that the causes of misery and poverty are linked to family maladjustments, the individual's educational unpreparedness for the world of work and the individual's lack of capacity to undertake. The causes of poverty are related to social inequalities resulting from the concentration of wealth in capitalism. Is there a solution that leads to the reduction of social inequality? The answer is that the end of social inequality will only be achieved when the Welfare State is implemented along the lines of that practiced in Scandinavian countries with the necessary adaptation to each country, because it is the most successful social system ever implemented in the world because embodies the most positive elements of both socialism and capitalism.

Culture of Poverty and Its Repercussions in the Municipality

Journal of Modern Education Review, 2020

Poverty is not the problem, but the symptoms it generates, such as economic depravation, which is measured with the perceived wage and the services that the household has, as well as social deficiencies in education and health, among others (Luna, 2015). The causes are associated with its origin since historical events, while the effects help to maintain problems, such as market scarcity, corruption and fewer work opportunities (Bartle, 2009). The people who live in this state of poverty show personality traits like apathy and learned hopelessness. This research gives an explanation of the poverty conditions that the Padilla residentes present, based on what is stipulated in the culture of poverty theory. This is a quantitative study, 619 surveys were applied in 25 communities of the municipality of Padilla. The conclusions show that extreme poverty in which the people of Padilla live, is cultural, and it doesn't allow them to identify de natural strengths of the municipality to boost the regional economy.
