GONZALEZ ROMO, Adrián; RAMIREZ VALVERDE, Benito; BOLTVINIK KALINKA, Julio y MACIAS LAYLLE, Alfonso. Poverty and objective population of Progresa in four indigenous municipalities of the North Sierra of Puebla. Pap. poblac [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.47, pp.115-153. ISSN 2448-7147.
In this work the differences between people in the Education, Health and Feeding Program (Progresa) and the people who did not participate of it, using as sample indigenous people of four communities of the totonaca region in Puebla State, where the study was carried out. The means of contrast used were the lack of basic patrimony; living conditions; income level and level of education. The information was gathered by applying 213 surveys of which 75 percent of families were part of the Progresa program and 25 percent were not. The result showed that both groups were in similar conditions of poverty and they show the same deficiencies. In some variables greater poverty is present in the group that is not part of the program. People participating in this program should be re-selected to give a better support to the needing population and correct the possible mistakes in the new program, called Oportunidades.
