Part IIImages of Poverty and Inequality
16
Adobe bricks at the ancient Inca ruins of
Pachacámac. Many people in Perú build their
houses out of materials similar to these today.
All photos by Kate Carson.
17
An example of wattle and daub construction, a
traditional building technique in Perú.
18
These two settlements are examples of what the
Peruvian government calls improvised housing.
19
Looking down the main road into the town of
Purmamarca, in the state of Jujuy, in Northwest
Argentina. What percent of the population lives
below the poverty line in this state? Below the
indigence line? What percent of households have
at least one unsatisfied basic need? Note that
the house on the near left is built of adobe
bricks.
20
A traditional village on the Uros islands, in
Lake Titicaca, Perú. The houses on these
islands, as well as the islands themselves, are
made of the reeds that grow in the lake. What
else do you notice about this picture?
21
The family that owns this vicuña lives near the
ruins of Sillustani, in the southern highlands
(sierra) of Perú. They charge tourists one sol
to take a photo of the vicuña. How many pictures
would they have to sell in a day to have an
income above the poverty line? Above the
indigence line? If they sell enough pictures to
be above the poverty line, does that mean that
they would not be classified as impoverished?
22
A fisherman gathering his nets near Paracas,
Perú. Do you think he earns enough money to
satisfy his basic needs?
23
The photo on the left is of a church in the
Barranco district of Lima. Was the building below
the church for this roadside settlement south of
Lima?
24
The contrast of living conditions can be great in
a country with high income inequality.
The picture above is of a popular tourist hotel
in Paracas, Perú. The photo to the right is of
guano mining operations off the coast near
Paracas.
25
Miraflores District in Lima
Pisac in Cusco Department
What percent of the people have at least one NBI
in each of these places?
26
In the Pampas region of Argentina, incomes may
differ greatly between the landowners and those
who work the land. What do the data for
Argentina say about poverty in this region?
A view of Purmarca, Jujuy one of the poorest
areas in Argentina. How do poverty statistics in
Jujuy compare to the Pampas?
