“…However, much work remains to be done, as not all countries have advanced at the same pace in incorporating accurate information into their official surveys to identify and study Indigenous peoples (Alkire & Kovesdi, 2020; Baird, 2016; Sapignoli & Hitchcock, 2013). Therefore, it is essential to carry out studies that analyse the determinants of poverty in specific Indigenous contexts (Agostini et al., 2010; Guzmán‐Rosas, 2022; Yörük et al., 2019). This aspect will provide an opportunity to gain a more detailed understanding of the determinants of Indigenous poverty and, consequently, to reconsider the role that Indigenous communities should play in regional development (Lee & Eversole, 2019).…”

“…In the Latin American region, 43% (18.1 million) of Indigenous households live in poverty, and 27% (11.3 million) in extreme poverty, figures that are twice those of the non‐Indigenous population for both indicators (World Bank, 2015). The result has been significant growth in the literature related to this topic in recent years, as well as a progressive interest in exploring various causes of Indigenous poverty (Guzmán‐Rosas, 2022; Pontarollo et al., 2020). For example, in the case of Peru, Clausen and Barrantes (2020) studied individuals with disabilities and found that Indigenous women are poorer than their non‐Indigenous counterparts.…”

“…The case of Mexico is no exception, and various recent efforts have addressed the analysis of Indigenous poverty. For example, research studies conducted by Guzmán‐Rosas (2022) and Millán‐Guerrero et al. (2021) highlight that different Indigenous groups experience greater social deprivations, such as limited access to public health services and basic amenities in their households.…”

MotivationThe eradication of poverty is one of Mexico's greatest challenges. This challenge is even greater for Indigenous communities, where seven out of ten people were living in poverty in 2018. Despite the economic, social, and cultural impacts on Indigenous people, little literature has addressed the determinants of Indigenous poverty in Mexico, while studies on the Guerrero Mountain Region (GMR) are practically non‐existent.PurposeThis study aims to identify the socioeconomic and contextual determinants of income and multidimensional poverty in the GMR, one of the poorest regions in Mexico and Latin America, primarily inhabited by Indigenous people.Methods and approachWe use data on 989 individuals in the GMR, collected during the 2018 Socioeconomic Conditions Module of Mexico's National Household Income and Expenditure Survey. To examine the main determinants of individual poverty, we use Bayesian logistic regression (BLR), which allows us to use the data to update information about the parameters and evaluate their distributional properties.The method simplifies multi‐causal elements by classifying them into categories of well‐being that incorporate more than economic factors.FindingsThe income‐poor population is also multidimensionally poor. Education helps to reduce poverty: households that spend more on schooling are less likely to be poor. Households with many members, those with high dependency ratios, and those with members living with disability all tend to be poor. Households with access to landlines and the internet are less likely to be poor.Policy implicationsMore diagnosis of poverty is needed: it should consider overlapping vulnerabilities (institutional, socioeconomic, environmental, and sociocultural) in this region for each Indigenous group. Public policies need to be monitored for performance.

“…En este trabajo se define a la pobreza energética como un problema social, complejo y multidimensional que implica: 1) la falta de acceso y/o precariedad en la calidad de los servicios de electricidad, 2) dificultades para poder pagar el consumo de energía (electricidad y combustibles), 3) la falta de acceso y/o precariedad en los bienes y servicios de consumo energético para satisfacer las necesidades humanas más importantes -alimentación, confort térmico en contexto de calor y de frío, iluminación, limpieza y vestimenta, acceso a la información, a la comunicación y al entretenimiento-y 4) la percepción subjetiva y las prácticas culturales que la población tiene sobre la energía, los combustibles, la pobreza energética y sus impactos (Guzmán- Rosas, 2021Rosas, , 2022.…”

Objetivo. Dimensionar y caracterizar la pobreza energética en la población indígena del Estado de San Luis Potosí, México. Metodología. Se diseñó, validó y aplicó, mediante muestreo estadístico aleatorio, un instrumento tipo cuestionario en los cinco municipios indígenas con mayores tasas de pobreza y marginación. Los datos recolectados fueron capturados y analizados estadísticamente. Resultados. La vertiente más grave de la pobreza energética indígena está en el acceso a combustibles no contaminantes, dado que el uso de leña en los hogares indígenas alcanza el 93.2 %, superando al África subsahariana. La exposición a partículas contaminantes ocurre durante todo el ciclo de vida (83.8%), afectando mayoritariamente al género femenino. Conclusiones. El uso exacerbado de leña como combustible tiene como elemento central el componente de ingreso, más allá de cualquier asociación a los saberes tradicionales. Subsidios directos a la población indígena afectada podrían jugar un papel determinante para garantizar una transición energética sostenida.
