Abstract
This article describes living conditions in the Villa Puerta de Hierro, located in Isidro Casanova, La Matanza, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, using methods of poverty measurement based on a human rights perspective (fundamental deficits) and a welfarist approach (households’ economic situation). The dimensions of analysis in the space of human rights are education, housing and public services, health insurance, food security, work and social security. The analysis in the welfare space is based on monetary income. Results show almost every family suffers deprivations, and more than 60% of the households are extremely poor. The results are then used to make public policy ecommendations for improving living conditions in the slum neighborhood.
