MINGO DE BEVILACQUA, Graciela et al. Dimensions of poverty in Paraná and Concordia: A comparative study. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2006, n.33, pp.67-110. ISSN 1851-1716.

This comparative study attempted to reveal the heterogeneities of urban poverty that frame the life of poor families in two agglomerations of the Province of Entre Ríos: Paraná and Concordia. We considered poverty as a heterogeneous phenomenon, not only by magnitude and intensity but also by configuration, conditioned by the urban environment and the economic and social structures. Over the last decade of the 20th Century and the first years of the 21st C., poverty was enhanced and several structural transformations occurred in Argentina which, undoubtedly, made social inequality worse. They can be summarized in: state reform, privatizations and labor reforms, recessive processes and outsourcing of economy. Description perspectives and methodological analyses are framed within the style of complementarity, in order to achieve a deeper approach to reproduction of poverty and the strategies of poor homes.
