Riesgo de pobreza y exclusión social entre la población urbana y rural de la Región de Murcia, España
(Universidad de Almería, 2022-06-07) Sánchez-Martí, José Antonio; Esteban Yago, Miguel; Losa Carmona, Antonio; Economía Aplicada
Murcia is one of the regions of Spain with the highest rate of risk of poverty and social exclusion, also being a territory that presents serious inequalities. One of these inequalities refers to the rural population, however, there is no current source available in this regard. This leads us to analyze the risk of poverty and social exclusion of the Murcian population according to the degree of urbanization of the territory where they live. The sample belongs to a field work carried out by the University of Murcia during the years 2017-2018. We confirm our starting hypothesis: the set of rural population shows a higher incidence of risk of poverty and social exclusion than their urban counterparts. Likewise, the set of rural population has worse working conditions, more difficulty reaching the end of the month and greater dissatisfaction in their standard of living. The analysis presented serves as support for the formulation of public policies, especially those aimed at improving the living conditions of rural Murcia.
