Abstract

Spanish Abstract: El presente trabajo obtuvo la Línea de Pobreza Subjetiva (LPS) a nivel nacional y regional para Colombia con base en la Encuesta de Calidad de Vida 2008. Los resultados sugieren que en promedio un hogar se considera pobre si sus ingresos mensuales son inferiores a $897.295. La región con la mayor LPS es la Atlántica y la de menor es San Andrés. Exceptuando Bogotá y San Andrés, todas las regiones en Colombia presentan una LPS por encima de la línea de pobreza objetiva calculada por el Departamento Nacional de Planeación para el año 2008. Al tener en cuenta el Estatus Socio Económico (variable construida con base en la metodología Polychoric PCA), se encontró a nivel nacional y regional que en la medida que el estatus es mayor el nivel de ingreso que separa al hogar entre percibirse como pobre o no se hace menor.
