Pobreza, privação e transferência de renda na várzea amazônica: um estudo de caso para Sirituba em Abaetetuba, Pará

Abstract

Poverty is a multidimensional problem that can be translated in terms of deprivation and lack of basic skills. The multidimensional indexes allow accurate analysis of quality of life related to poverty, considering some important dimensions and represent a major breakthrough on the issue of development planning. The overall objective of this research was to examine the deprivations faced by families in the community Sirituba Abaetetuba / PA, according to the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) dimensions and indicators of the and analyze the impact of cash transfers on household durables of families. The analysis in families receiving and not receiving cash transfers showed that the two have the same amount of household durables. The analysis of IPM adapted to Sirituba found that some families suffer hardship due to low education of heads of families, lack of access to safe drinking water, lack of sanitation and rustic kitchens method. There was also a trend of improvement in the Municipal Human Development Index (IDHM) Abaetetuba. The municipality has developed the range of "very low human development" to "medium human development". And it represents an evolution in education indicators, longevity and income. However, it is known that urban area Abaetetuba does not present the same public services in a rural area as Sirituba. The 2000 Census and 2010 provide data for these areas demonstrating that the services of electricity and water supply provided in rural areas are less available compared to urban area Abaetetuba.
