BLANCO, Mariela; ALEGRE, Silvina  and  JIMENEZ, Dora Isabel. Considerations on the Contrains in Conceptualizing Rural Poverty. Trab. soc. [online]. 2010, n.14. ISSN 1514-6871.

In this paper we try to show alternative approaches to poverty in order to overcome the dichotomic classifications between poor and non poor persons and households. Eventhough the main concern of the article is not related to social policy, we aim to establish useful concepts for active social policies. In order to validate the theoretical arguments with field data collection, we analyze the economic, social, labor and institutional dimensions of rurality in some departments located in Santiago del Estero and Corrientes provinces, considering articulated variables that go beyond strictly agricultural issue.

Keywords : Rural poverty; Rural households; Reciprocity; Socio-labor dynamics; habitability's.
