Abstract
Poverty research is controversial by researchers and institutions; In Peru since 2010, the Advisory Committee for the Estimation of Poverty and Other Related Indicators is created; however, the country's official monetary method persists as an official measure, even though many countries in the region have changed their official poverty measurements. This review article allows us to share current information on poverty and develop the bibliographic review table, which will allow us to develop the topic and conclude that the official method for measuring poverty in Peru remains monetary; the Advisory Committee on the Estimation of Poverty and other indicators is inactive; measuring poverty by the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MMA) has proven to be the most reliable and used method; rural people are at a disadvantage of suffering from poverty relative to the inhabitants of the cities; several researchers agree that poverty is intimately associated with the level of education, age and occupation of the head of the household; the objective well-being represented by the multidimensional poverty index does not necessarily correlate with the subjective well-being represented by happiness; and finally, there is a shortage of research and publication on poverty in Peru.
