The current economic crisis is revealing social and structural changes that entail a worsening of the levels of poverty and wellbeing of the population. In this line, the objective of this work is to deepen the knowledge of the situation of poverty in the municipality of Jerez de la Frontera, to be able to contribute to a better design and application of measures and actions of general and specific socioeconomic policies with greater guarantee of success. For this, an analysis methodology has been applied by age, sex, productive sectors and other characteristics based on surveys and interviews. Among the main conclusions of this work and as one of its contributions, the emergence of a new type of transitory poverty from the construction sector should be noted, establishing a new scenario derived from the impact of the crisis, which requires a specific response.

Keywords : construction sector poverty; economic crisis; chronic poverty; recurrent transient poverty and non-recurrent transient poverty.
