Construcción de un indicador de desigualdad social con dependencia espacial mediante el análisis de componentes principales no lineal, utilizando la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida (2014)

Abstract

Social inequality occurs when a group of people receive different treatment as a consequence of their social position, economic situation, gender, the religion they profess and other aspects. All of the factors mentioned before intersect in territories, that is why a lot of social studies suggested that the place where a person is born or lives influences on their development, on their access and distribution of well-being opportunities, resulting in territorial inequalities.

For that reason, the present investigation aims to analyze the variables of the Survey of Living Conditions 2014, Sixth Round, for the construction of an indicator of social inequality that considers the spatial and geographical influence of the data in order to analyze inequality in Quito Metropolitan District.
