description Poverty, like many other economic and social concepts, is a complex phenomenon to define. In general, it is associated to the lack of resources to meet the needs of a population or group of reference, without having the ability and opportunity to produce these resources. As it is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, there are many definitions and ways of measuring it. The tools provided by the theory of fuzzy sets, let you capture the grays present in the standard of living of the population, nuances that occur not only phenomena of subjective nature, but also by situational phenomena and cyclical. In this paper a model to classify households according to the membership degrees to all indigent and poor households is presented. Levels of poverty and indigence are determined taking into account household income and the appreciation of the Basic Food Basket and Cutting Edge Total.

La pobreza, como muchos otros conceptos económicos y sociales, es un fenómeno complejo de precisar. En general, se lo asocia a la carencia de recursos necesarios para satisfacer las necesidades de una población o grupo de referencia, sin tener la capacidad y oportunidad de producir esos recursos necesarios. Como es un fenómeno complejo y multidimensional, existen múltiples definiciones y maneras de medirla. Las herramientas que provee la teoría de los conjuntos borrosos permiten captar los grises presentes en el nivel de vida de la población, matices que se presentan no solo por fenómenos de naturaleza subjetiva, sino también por fenómenos de carácter situacional y coyuntural. En este trabajo se presenta un modelo para poder clasificar a los hogares de acuerdo con los grados de pertenencia al conjunto de hogares indigentes y pobres. Se determinan grados de pobreza e indigencia teniendo en cuenta los ingresos del hogar y la valorización de la Canasta Básica Alimentaria y la Canasta Básica Total.
