Abstract

The concept of the «feminization of poverty» means that poverty largely affects women. Nevertheless, this «feminization» is not reflected in conventional measurements of poverty and, even when it is quantified, one of the fundamental elements for explaining this «feminization » is not taken into account: namely, the position of women in the social structure and their structural vulnerability. That is to say, the gender perspective.
