MAP AND GAPS: INEQUITIES OF LIVING STANDARS IN THE POPULATION OF VENEZUELA 1975-2010

It aims to teach a synthetic way of representing the disparities in living standards in Venezuela, not only at one point, but in a sequence that covers the evolution of the last 35 years. It is not recalculating the importance of poverty, but to put it in the perspective of the overall income distribution, and the prospect of urban-regional disparities that are the ones that have to draw attention to issues of national interest.
The synthesis of results comes not as numeric data, but using a graph constructed in a manner to provide the details in a general physiognomy comparable from one year to another. All data used in this work are taken from the Household Sample Survey (HSS) raised biannually by the National Statistics Institute (INE) continuously since 1967, which is available since 1975 on microdata. The Centro de Investigación Social -CISOR made a direct processing of HSS to ensure comparability of the results in terms appropriate to the purposes of this project "Map and gaps", getting a five-year series of data since1975 to 2010.
