HERRERO-OLARTE, Susana. What Do Marginal Communities that Generate Structural Poverty Look Like?. Pap. poblac [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.98, pp.157-183. ISSN 2448-7147.  https://doi.org/10.22185/24487147.2018.98.39.

The aim of this research was to determine whether marginal comunities could be defined as such in the rural areas of low- and medium-income countries with highly scattered populations. A comparative analysis of poverty indicators between such communities and national averages made it possible to conclude that the proposed definite was indeed appropriate. The poverty levels recorded call for specific, immediate interventions by those responsible, in order to modify the conditions that have led to what is now structural poverty. Given the similarities in living conditions and other indicators for these communities, the response strategy could rely on a proposal of either regional or global intervention geared to addressing the main needs detected.

Palabras llave : Rural development; marginalization; marginalized communities; eradication of poverty; quantitative and qualitative poverty.
