Abstract(s)
Os Açores são a região portuguesa que apresenta a maior taxa de pobreza e, ao mesmo tempo, um maior número de beneficiários do RSI em função da sua população residente. Neste texto mostra-se que a pobreza, medida através do RSI, não se distribui de forma homogénea pelo território regional, dado que tende a concentrar-se na ilha de S. Miguel (a mais populosa). A questão que se coloca é o que é que justifica o lugar ocupado pelos Açores no contexto nacional e o que é que pode explicar a maior incidência do RSI. Neste artigo procura-se mobilizar indicadores para equacionar essa questão e esboçar algumas ideias para fazer uma primeira tentativa de resposta. Assim, conclui-se que a taxa de pobreza nos Açores é muito influenciada pelo facto de ser nesta ilha que habita a maioria da população do arquipélago.
ABSTRACT: The Azores are the Portuguese region with the highest poverty rate and, at the same time, with the largest number of RSI beneficiaries according to their resident population. This text shows that poverty, as measured by the RSI, is not homogeneously distributed throughout the regional territory, since it tends to be concentrated on the island of S. Miguel (the most populated). The question that arises is what justifies the place occupied by the Azores in the national context and what may explain the higher incidence of RSI beneficiaries. This paper seeks to mobilizes indicators to address this issue and outline some ideas to make a first attempt at an answer. Thus, it is concluded that the poverty rate in the Azores is highly influenced by the fact that it is on this island that the majority of the population of the archipelago lives.
