AGUILAR-ESTRADA, Alma Esther; CAAMAL-CAHUICH, Ignacio  y  ORTIZ-ROSALES, Miguel Ángel. Multidimensional Poverty in Chiapas: Widespread but Heterogeneous. LiminaR [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.2, pp.105-117. ISSN 2007-8900.

The state of Chiapas has historically been a priority target in the fight against poverty. Currently, however, 76% of the population continues to be impoverished. The objective of this paper is to distinguish poverty profiles at the municipal level and propose differentiated public policies. The methodology combines multivariate analysis and geographic information systems. We obtained four composites or poverty profiles, which are presented with maps and differentiated public policy proposals. We conclude that given the intensity of poverty in Chiapas, it should continue to be a priority for poverty-reduction efforts. Yet to achieve results in the long term, the particularities of each profile should be considered, since in each case different measures may have greater priority.
