Resumo
This work is framed in the investigations that analyze the poverty from a multidimensional perspective and try to come near to their measurement by incorporating not only economic aspects. The aim of the paper is to carry out an application for the Spanish autonomous regions. In order to do that, a vector of variables containing information on income, health, education, employment, housing, etc., is elaborated. Later, a synthetic indicator of poverty, also named indicator of privation, is obtained by means of the statistical methodology based on P2- Distance (DP2). Finally, the global situation, the position of the different autonomous regions, and the importance of each variable in the synthetic indicator of poverty, are analyzed.
