VILLEDA SANTANA, Mary C.; NAVA BOLANOS, Isalia y DOMINGUEZ VILLALOBOS, Lilia M.. Multidimensional Poverty Among the Elderly in Mexico: a Gender Analysis. Econ: teor. práct [online]. 2023, n.59, pp.47-74. Epub 30-Oct-2023. ISSN 2448-7481. https://doi.org/10.24275/etypuam/ne/592023/villeda.
The objective of this article is to explore, through two models of multinomial logistic regression, the factors that affect the multidimensional poverty among the elderly in Mexico and in particular to analyze how they differ between women and men. The source is the National Survey of Household Income and Expenditure 2020. Our econometric results show the relevance of analyzing poverty from a multidimensional approach, since we find noteworthy dissimilarities among the determinants by poverty categories. Moreover, the gender approach throws differences between women and men, in a context of old age feminization. Female household heading increases the odds ratio while reducing them for men. Speaking an indigenous language and living in a rural location, although with positive effect for both, the probability increase is greater for women. Lastly access to economic networks has an inverse effect in all categories, with a smaller effect among the female population.
