Abstract

Exclusion allows reviewing and analyze situations of poverty, deprivation and inequality. Houghton and Khandker (2009) consider poverty as the deprivation of well-being in a pronounced way and the lack of adequate income to face education, health and safety needs; as well as access to the exercise of empowerment and basic rights. In order to identify the level of poverty, the objective is to review elements of social exclusion in the population and in particular of the elderly. Through two logistic models, which are supported by the information of the ENIGH 2016, which differ in number of variables and have or not as heads of older adults, it is sought to estimate the probability of being below the Welfare Line, in order to identify the level of poverty in which the population is located. The models show that households where older people are more susceptible to poverty.
