Abstract: This article addresses the issue of poverty from an economic perspective and which is based in the analysis of the programs developed in Mexico to decrease it. Thus, this work begins considering that per capita income has been the determining factor to the growth of the conditions to measure poverty. However, measuring poverty based on this approach leads to the identification of arbitrary assumptions and out of other variables that express living standards achieved by other means, coming to regard the fact of poverty in other regions of Latin America, it is noted that the development of the above, leads to new situations related to the context of regional, national economic policies and even the national will to address this problem of distribution.
