Luis Gilberto, 64, remembers her as a Good afternoon, sitting in the seat of your living room, looked with great sadness to his two sons came home from work with faces full of concern, for among all could not or mid-month. Tired Luis
the hardships to which his family was subjected to in their homeland by the serious economic situation in which lives in Ecuador, a situation that results from a long list of shortcomings such as poor access to factors of production to basic social services, health, sanitation and education, to employment opportunities and off-farm, got up and leaning on the window, peered through his glasses the beautiful noise of street trying to retain in his memory. It was at this point that, taking the pack who had accompanied him in his placid rides, filled with hopes and dreams and immigrated to Spain, the land of opportunity that so many later told his countrymen, "the land of hope was called" in search of a better quality of life for his family.
"But the vast majority of Latin American immigrants who come to our country, the smile and dreams they end up getting off the plane."
In the case of Louis to his arrival in Spain, settled in a beautiful city of Murcia, Lorca called. Was soon to reside there, when twelve of his fellow Ecuadorians who were traveling in a van was hit by a train at a crossing. Unfortunately that fateful uncovered following the precariousness of thousands of Ecuadorians and in turn took a toll on many of them, as was the case Huis who did not want to hire.
But as every immigrant who leaves his life in his country and travels in search of opportunities, Luis could not fail to his family that he hoped that foreign remittance as soon as possible, so despite his advanced age he began to play Temporary work in the field, winning as many 600 euros per month.
And right now many will wonder, leaves his country to seek a better quality of life fleeing the poverty to remain as a poor person from earning less than 600 euros in Spain, and is considered an individual in a precarious situation.
But this statement is correct although we have to clarify and that is what we will discuss in the next lines.
We can say that there is no single definition of the meaning of poverty. Aristotle started the debate when he claimed that there needs to separate "natural" and "unnatural." This assumption followed Doyal and Gough when he said that poverty is the deprivation of the satisfaction of basic human needs.
If we focus on these definitions, we could say that Luis is not a poor person, because their basic needs, such as known biological (food, clothing, shelter) are being covered with charged 600 euros.
The problem with all this and is a very important issue is the valuation that each person gives what they are for human needs.
If we focus on the Maslow pyramid we can see that for him human needs are articulated as follows:
The Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often described as a pyramid consisting of 5 levels: the first four levels can be grouped together as deficiency needs (deficit needs), the top level need to be called ("being needs). "The difference is that while the deficit needs can be met, being needs are a constant impelling force." The basic idea of \u200b\u200bthis hierarchy is that the higher needs occupy our attention only after lower needs are satisfied in the pyramid. The forces of growth lead to an upward movement in the hierarchy, whereas regressive forces push prepotent needs down the hierarchy. In terms of economy was widely used method of ranking, until it was simplified into a single "Happiness."
In this sense we could claim to have though Louis has covered their physiological needs, needs not covered as employment security, moral security since it states that you are treated badly and "is like a dictatorship." Neither family safety because his wife and children do not have just to survive in Ecuador.
And following so we could say that the following needs for the last three levels also have a lack of these needs, rather broad. We could therefore say that from the point of view of Maslow, Luis is poor.
The definition of poverty is very subjective, as the needs, including basic are related from the point of view of the individual to analyze them. Since we could find people who would be capable of putting his life for freedom. This is an area in which the Maslow pyramid could be criticized since as we have said there may be individuals who for them is not as important to life, fundamental basic need, such as to escape a dictatorship. Words for this guy would be more important than the first step two.
other hand, we could also address the issue of poverty if we analyze from the standpoint of relative or absolute poverty. To do this we will continue to mention the example given at the beginning of Louis.
Absolute poverty is a poverty level in which certain minimum standard of living, such as nutrition, health and housing can not be achieved.
The people in these circumstances makes less than a dollar per person. The term absolute poverty can be a bit misleading because there is no single standard that defines it: the level of income necessary to achieve this minimum is commonly known as the poverty line , which is defined in several ways by institutions and individuals. In this regard Luis would not put a poor person who earns more than a dollar, if we focus in this definition and also have completed the minimum life.
Absolute poverty can be contrasted with relative poverty, low income or living standards on the rest of society. Luís
If we compare with an individual of Ecuador, we could say that there is relatively poor. Because it has a higher purchasing power than the individual who lives in Ecuador. But when compared with a English guy who is an officer, earns 2500 euros a month, do not abuse it, has a very broad freedoms etc., If we could say that Luis is a relatively poor individual. Finally
and saying to the Survey of Living Conditions could say that Louis is a poor citizen since winning 600 euros and is below average.
conclusion and more from an economic point of view I would like sociological position expressed that human poverty has degraded human lives for centuries, but one of the most remarkable achievements of the twentieth century is the dramatic reduction, income poverty has decreased more rapidly in the last 50 years than in the past 50 decades.
late twentieth century the number of people in hardship in other aspects of life ranging between one billion and two billion, compared with 2 to 3 billion that were made a decade. In the 50's and 60 Asia stagnated while Latin America, Eastern Europe and rich countries, and less time , improved sub-Saharan Africa. Since the mid-70's evolution is largely invierte.Ha changed radically in the last fifteen years. The processes of democratization, decentralization economic reforms and free market have laid the groundwork for a new instance of poverty reduction, giving a wider role for local governments, the private sector and NGOs, individually and / or partners.
Some of the most interesting improvement of the living conditions of the poor in the region involving various forms of partnership between different sectors (public, private, or nonprofit). These experiences have had tangible successes.
These advances are not only quantitative but also qualitative, in particular related to trust building, institutional strengthening (all actors), and more generally linked to the accumulation of social capital. Partnerships show that the combination can be greater than the sum of its parts.
must find ways to coexist in a homogeneous environment, where every nation will benefit from the other, without abuse, obstruction of trade, release or no tax in favor of certain interests. Governments emerging after the birth of globalization have to think critically in technology, scientific progress, financial instruments, and apply it efficiently and consistently to the development of agriculture, education the nutrition, health.
The only way to eradicate poverty and enhance human development is looking for equity securities national equity in competitiveness, equity, international rights and estates trade, as well as respect existing populations based on a humanistic framework. We shall explain to our colleagues, to society that the criticality and completeness with which they look at the clear objectives, the ability to discern the problem, is the key to a smooth development against pobreza.Nuestro is explanatory and easy understand, in the same focus the minimum standards to follow for that goal. a strategy to combat poverty based on adoption of measures in two areas: opportunity and security.
