Abstract (EN)
Poverty is a condition defined by some criterion of deprivation that limits people’s well-being, and therefore, it is an important and disquieting issue for development. Overall, since it deals with ethical reasons related to survival, economic literature in Brazil has been emphasizing the approach based on absolute income poverty, which is defined based on a line of indigence and poverty.4 These are absolute poverty measures that make it possible to identify the number of poor people in a country. Brazil is a country that is characterized by its huge size and diversity, harboring a large number of people living in conditions of absolute poverty. This type of indicator has also been used to facilitate international comparisons.Subjects / Keywords
