SANDOVAL HERNANDEZ, Efrén. Studies on poverty, marginalization and inequality in Monterrey. Pap. poblac [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.57, pp.169-191. ISSN 2448-7147.

The text is a critical revision of the different studies carried out in the Metropolitan area of Monterrey on poverty, inequality and marginalization. Said studies have been characterized by a scarce conceptual depth and by the absence of continuity which allows making comparisons along time. This work revises the contributions to the study of poverty, marginalization and inequality in Monterrey's Metropolitan Area (MMA), at the time it warns about essential elements for a better comprehension of these phenomena in the region, which have great economic importance for the country.
