Abstract
Multidimensional poverty measurement in Mexico require the simultaneous occurrence of two events: firstly, to have less income than an established minimum in the space of welfare, and secondly, to have at least one gap in the space of social entitlements. The Consejo Nacional de Evaluación de la PolÃtica de Desarrollo Social (Coneval) [National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy] has established, under its own theoretical position, that is not appropriate to include income and gaps in the calculation of depth measurements; as if it were spaces that operate independently. In this paper, micro-regressions are used to verify the empirical existence of significant association between both spaces, although this is presented at different levels. The results suggest, also, to omit the variable associated with health services in order to achieve a better vision of the relationship between the gaps in social entitlements and income.
