Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyze theoretical approaches to explain poverty as an essentially distributive phenomenon. Some of the explanations proposed by empirical literature that studies poverty from a gender perspective are reviewed. It is found that poverty is derived from an essentially distributive problem that mainly affects Mexican women.
