- Abstract
The concept of poverty is based on the monetary approach. It is measured by the method of poverty lines (Foster et al, 1984; Sen, 1976), while the static microsimulation technique (Bourguignon and Spadaro, 2006) helps quantify the impact of Oportunidades in reducing poverty in Mexico and Sonora during period 2010-2012. The information for this study is obtained from the National Survey of Income and Expenditure Household INEGI (2010, 2012). Lower percentages of poverty were found in Sonora in comparison with the country and no significant impact from the program; the greatest impact was seen in the country since food poverty was reduced (-2.14%), capabilities poverty (-1.86%) and patrimonial poverty (-0.81%). In regards to targeting of the program, in the country there is a slight improvement in efficiency but not in effectiveness and Sonora experienced a significant improvement in efficiency and effectiveness.
