Abstract

In this paper we have tried to consolidate some data from ENAHO 2004-2008 relating to conditions of economic and social structure, and the situation of poverty in the Junín region. In the first part that corresponds to the theoretical framework of gaps done to develop definitions about the poverty rates based on the results of the Enaho. In the second part discusses the results and discussion of these structures which are productive, social and poverty in the Junín region. They found that the production profile of the region is an agricultural use and that the industry tends to decrease, but also the services sector is in an increasingly growing phase in the Jenin region. Also, the Junín region has a low average level of development (HDI = 0.592) and almost half the population is poor, as well as that from each100 people, 13 are in extreme poverty. These give us the conclusion that the situation is coincident economic structure with poverty. If the majority is devoted to agriculture, a sector that is seated poverty in rural areas. Therefore, more rural districts have high rates of malnutrition and extreme poverty. Hence, the characterization of the economic structures in Junín are in initial state (agriculture for survival, and yet we also have the tertiary sector is in a stage of growing trend on the other hand the industry is declining. It development theorists called spurious or service economy, without having fully developed the second phase or industrial sector.
