Abstract

As has been observed for decades, poverty alleviation programs have not ended this generational social debt. Isolated policies such as the per capita wage increase sound attractive but do not greatly benefit households with incomes below the minimum welfare line. Also, the most powerful industry in this country is the manufacture of petroleum and coal products, it does not help solve the increase in the number of people living in poverty. It is the wholesale trade in groceries and food that impacts both on the change in the poverty index and on its depth and intensity. This explains how households with incomes between the first and fifth decile of income remain within the informal trade.
