dc.description	Este trabajo hace parte de los estudios especiales de la línea de pobreza del Observatorio Socioeconómico de Santander de la Facultad de Economía de la Universidad Santo Tomás, Bucaramanga. La investigación analiza comparativamente la evolución de la pobreza monetaria y multidimensional en Santander frente a otros departamentos de Colombia y al promedio nacional durante 2018-2024, con base en información oficial del DANE. El estudio adopta un enfoque cuantitativo de alcance descriptivo y comparativo, con diseño no experimental y longitudinal sobre un panel departamento-año. A partir de fuentes secundarias oficiales, se caracteriza la trayectoria de Santander, se contrasta con cuatro departamentos de referencia (Norte de Santander, La Guajira, Bogotá D.C. y Risaralda) y el total nacional, y se exploran, mediante correlaciones bivariadas y comparación por grupos, las variables económicas y sociales asociadas a los patrones de pobreza observados. Los resultados muestran que Santander sufrió un fuerte choque en pobreza monetaria durante la pandemia (2019-2021), seguido de una recuperación que llevó el indicador por debajo de su nivel de 2018, mientras que el Índice de Pobreza Multidimensional presentó una reducción sostenida y más profunda. El departamento mantuvo niveles de pobreza inferiores al promedio nacional durante casi todo el período, en una posición asociada a mayor ingreso per cápita, menor informalidad laboral y menor analfabetismo. Persisten retos en la recuperación de la pobreza extrema y en las brechas de género.
dc.description.abstract	This study forms part of the special poverty studies conducted by the Socioeconomic Observatory of Santander within the Faculty of Economics at Universidad Santo Tomás, Bucaramanga Campus. The research provides a comparative analysis of the evolution of monetary and multidimensional poverty in Santander relative to other Colombian departments and the national during the 2018–2024 period, based on official data from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE). The study adopts a quantitative, descriptive, and comparative approach, using a non-experimental longitudinal design on a department-year panel dataset. Drawing on official secondary sources, it characterizes Santander’s trajectory, compares it with four benchmark departments (Norte de Santander, La Guajira, Bogotá D.C., and Risaralda) as well as the national average, and explores, through bivariate correlations and group comparisons, the economic and social variables associated with the observed poverty patterns. The results show that Santander experienced a significant increase in monetary poverty during the pandemic period(2019–2021), followed by a recovery that brought the indicator below its 2018 level. In contrast, the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) exhibited a sustained and more pronounced decline throughout the period. Santander maintained poverty levels below the national average for almost the entire study period, a position associated with higher per capita income, lower labor informality, and lower illiteracy rates. Nevertheless, challenges remain regarding the reduction of extreme poverty and the persistence of gender gaps.
