The discussion about those who matter the most, by Hugo Ñopo
Hugo Ñopo, senior researcher at GRADE, addresses in Foco Económico the discussion around the new poverty numbers in Peru: “Having more urban poor than rural poor was the new that attracted the most attention. For the first time, the percentage of urban poor was statistically higher than 50%. What did not attract attention, because it is not new, is that among the extreme poor, an overwhelming majority is still rural.”
