Abstract: The objective of the research was to determine the effect of public services in the household on poverty in Peru, in the period 2021, for which a quantitative, non-experimental research approach was considered with a descriptive and correlational design. The information from the National Household Survey of the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) database was used, considering the modules “Dwelling and Household Characteristics”, “Household Members’ Characteristics”, “Education”, “Employment and Income”, “Household Equipment”, “Summaries (Calculated Variables)” and “Citizen Participation”. It was possible to determine that the following variables had negative effects on household poverty in Peru: access to potable water, sanitation, electric power, cell phone services; achieving higher, secondary, and primary education levels; having a washing machine, motorcycle, tricycle, motorcycle taxi, computer, kitchen, refrigerator in the household; having a property title; being part of an association or organization; living in a rural residence area; and having remittances. However, the number of household members had a positive effect on poverty. Therefore, it was concluded that access to public services in the household contributed to reducing the probability of being poor in Peru.
