El presente trabajo parte de la hipótesis de que las medidas basadas exclusivamente en el ingreso no son la mejor aproximación para medir el bienestar que las personas experimentan. Para evaluar esta hipótesis se utiliza información de hogares entrevistados en cuatro comunidades rurales ubicadas en los estados de Jalisco y Michoacán. La investigación se centra en evaluar el bienestar de los individuos en condiciones de pobreza. Para ello se contrastaron dos enfoques: pobreza de ingreso y bienestar subjetivo. Los resultados muestran que la clasificación de pobreza de ingreso es muy distinta de la que se obtiene utilizando indicadores de bienestar subjetivo. Los resultados muestran que si se utilizara al ingreso como única guía de política pública se estaría omitiendo información importante acerca del bienestar que los individuos experimentan. En este contexto, el enfoque de bienestar subjetivo es un buen complemento a las medidas de bienestar tradicionales.]]></p></abstract>

This study stems from the hypothesis that measurements based exclusively on income are not the best approximation to measure the wellbeing that people experience. To evaluate this hypothesis, information from households interviewed in four rural communities located in the states of Jalisco and Michoacán are used. The research is centered on evaluating the wellbeing of individuals in conditions of poverty. For this purpose, two approaches were compared: income poverty and subjective wellbeing. Results show that the classification of income poverty is quite different than the one obtained using indicators of subjective wellbeing. The results show that if income were to be used as the sole guide for public policy, then important information about the wellbeing that individuals experience would be omitted. Within this context, the approach of subjective wellbeing is a good complement to the traditional measurements of wellbeing.]]></p></abstract>
