Resumo: The research carried out a comprehensive analysis of socio-economic dynamics in Mozambique in Sofala province in the districts of Buzi, Caia, Gorongosa, Maringue and Marromeu Mozambique, exploring poverty, inequality and deprivation. Using consolidated methodologies such as FGT, GINI index, Lorenz curve, MPI for multidimensional poverty and Theil index, we analyzed the situation in comparison with different reports. The results reveal that, considering a poverty line of 1,800.00 Meticais, 97.83 per cent of the population in the five districts is classified as poor. The poverty gap ratio shows that, on average, people living in poverty have an income 85.35 per cent below the poverty line. The aggregate poverty gap estimates the monthly transfer of 282,678.00 Mt needed to eliminate poverty in the region. A detailed analysis of the FGT1 indicators reveals that Buzi, Caia, Gorongosa, Maringue and Marromeu represent 33.89%, 20.56%, 19.44%, 16.11% and 10.78% of the poor population, respectively. Income distribution in the province, as measured by the Gini coefficient, is significantly unequal, with a rate of 65.3 per cent. Breaking down the data, Gorongosa is the most unequal district (73.97%), followed by Caia (64.21%) and Marromeu (48.06%). From the perspective of multidimensional poverty, 77.9 per cent of the population faces deprivation in education, 88 per cent in health, and housing is inadequate for the entire population of the five districts. The Theil index highlights the disparities, with Buzi, Caia, Gorongosa, Maringue and Marromeu showing 72.94%, 80.09%, 100%, 42.72% and 39.34%, respectively.

Utilizando metodologias consolidadas como FGT, índice de GINI, curva de Lorenz, MPI para pobreza multidimensional e índice de Theil, analisamos a situação em comparação com diferentes relatórios. Os resultados revelam que, considerando uma linha de pobreza de 1.800,00 Meticais, 97,83% da população nos cinco distritos é classificada como pobre. O Pverty gap ratio revela que, em média, os indivíduos em situação de pobreza possuem uma renda 85,35% abaixo da linha de pobreza. O aggregate poverty gap estima a transferência mensal de 282.678,00 Mt necessária para eliminar a pobreza na região. A análise detalhada dos indicadores FGT1 revela que Buzi, Caia, Gorongosa, Maringue e Marromeu representam 33,89%, 20,56%, 19,44%, 16,11% e 10,78% da população pobre, respectivamente. A distribuição de renda na província, avaliada pelo coeficiente de Gini, é significativamente desigual, com uma taxa de 65,3%. Desagregando os dados, Gorongosa é o distrito mais desigual (73,97%), seguido por Caia (64,21%) e Marromeu (48,06%). Na perspectiva da pobreza multidimensional, 77,9% da população enfrenta privações na educação, 88% na saúde, e a habitação é inadequada para toda a população dos cinco distritos. O índice de Theil destaca as disparidades, com Buzi, Caia, Gorongosa, Maringue e Marromeu apresentando 72,94%, 80,09%, 100%, 42,72% e 39,34%, respectivamente.Universidade Federal de Viçosa - UFV2023-12-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/reves/article/view/1781410.18540/revesvl6iss4pp17814REVES - Revista Relações Sociais; Vol. 6 No. 4 (2023); 17814REVES - Revista Relações Sociais; Vol. 6 Núm. 4 (2023); 17814REVES - Revista Relações Sociais; v. 6 n. 4 (2023); 178142595-4490reponame:REVES - Revista Relações Sociaisinstname:Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)instacron:UFVporhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/reves/article/view/17814/9119Copyright (c) 2023 REVES - Revista Relações Sociaishttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFobra, Diana da Otília ManuelZaqueu, Domingos ArnaldoJoão, Jorge Serrão ConhaqueMavundla, Lucio DanielSantos, Helga Libânio dos2024-01-23T18:33:34Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufv.br:article/17814Revistahttps://periodicos.ufv.br/reves/PUBhttps://periodicos.ufv.br/reves/oaireves.journal@ufv.br||2595-44902595-4490opendoar:2024-01-23T18:33:34REVES - Revista Relações Sociais - Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)false
