This paper aims to determinate the condition of working poverty in households with female headship, evolution, and presence of feminization of poverty in Mexico. The source of information is the National Survey of Occupation and Employment (ENOE) 2005-2017. The results indicate that, during the period of analysis, the condition of poverty in female-headed households increased, but we cannot speak of feminization of poverty. The variables that increase the probability of poverty are the number of dependents and the united civil status, while higher educational level decreases their probability.

Palabras llave : labor poverty; gender; female household headship; econometric model; microdata; Mexico; I32; J16; C25.
