Abstract

Measuring poverty is a pending issue in South America. The objective was to describe, explain and compare the levels of social development and well-being of the citizens of Peru compared to South America. The research was non-experimental, quantitative method, explanatory, with longitudinal design; We use the LASSO and PLS regression model with data related to development and well-being indicators. We identify three indicators that differentiate the countries considered: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Uruguay; These reflect characteristics associated with gender, age groups, access to social security and employment status; we observe the presence of two seasonal cycles throughout the entire series, the first associated with the first two decades of study (1986-2000) and the second that begins in the year 2000 and shows a tendency towards stability. We show the presence of groups of countries in South America with similar characteristics related to gender, access to social security and employment status.
