Some references allow to locate the analysis of the phenomenon in Latin American and Colombian context oriented to understand, measure and generate public policies for the eradication of Poverty. What is also questioned is the place of the economic model in the processes of impoverishment and the perceptions that the population has about poverty and the institutional actions designed to combat it.

Keywords : Impoverishment; Critical theory; Collective representations; Everyday life; Socio spatial segregation.
