Abstract

This work presents the results of a systematic review using bibliometrix package of the R statistical program on the approaches to measuring poverty. Due to the growing interest in the study of economic growth and development, the identification of factors associated with poverty and inequality and also due to the great diversity of methodologies that have been applied in their study, it is necessary to have a compilation of the different strategies that have been used in different contexts and that can be a starting point for future research that intends to approach these issues from a theoretical perspective. The main objective was to compile the most common strategies for measuring poverty that have been used most frequently, identifying their main speakers, strengths and weaknesses, all through a systematic search and using scientometric techniques. The results show that the measurements of multidimensional poverty are the ones that have had the greatest scope in measuring the indicators of growth and economic development. This work is the basis for the identification of the incident factors in the levels of economic growth, poverty and inequalitythat is underway
