Abstract
The objective is to analyze the multidimensional poverty and its subjective aspects in rural and urban contexts in a State of Brazil. The total sample consisted of 417 participants. It was set up the Measurement Index of the Multidimensional Poverty from deprivation in housing , education, work/income, health dimensions and subjective aspects of poverty. Multiple Regression Analysis and Multivariate Analysis of Variance were performed. It was found that the deprivations in the education and housing dimensions are more intense in the countryside. The subjective dimension of poverty is stronger in the urban context. In both contexts, deprivation of work/income dimension has positive prediction with the subjective aspects of poverty. In the urban context, health and housing dimensions are also positive predictors of subjective dimension of poverty, while the education is has a negative correlation.
