A Pobreza no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul: uma análise a partir do censo demográfico de 2010

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze poverty in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, its variation over time, geographical distribution by municipalities and microregions, as well as characteristics of individuals living in this situation. For that, we used data from the National Household Sample Survey - PNAD from 1976-2014 and microdata from the 2010 Demographic Census, both carried out by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics - IBGE. For each of the data sources used, specific approaches of poverty were applied, these being the perspective of caloric needs and the perspective of income in dollars per day. Based on these data, it was possible to identify that poverty, in Brazil as a whole, including in Mato Grosso do Sul, the subject of this analysis, had a significant reduction in the period 1976-2014, especially in 2002-2014. As for the geographical distribution, there was a significant inequality between municipalities in terms of both quantity and proportion of individuals in poverty per municipality. As for the characterization of the individuals in poverty, it was possible to identify some relation of the poverty condition with, indicators of income, gender, age, schooling, ethnicity, activity and occupation.
