This research identifies and analyzes the determinants of monetary poverty in rural households in the municipality of Fosca in the department of Cundinamarca. The collection of household data on the value of income and expenses, the activities that originate the income and the occupation activities of the surveyed population, was done through a questionnaire constructed with reference to the DANE income and expense survey, the income and expenditure survey of the National Institute of Statistics and censuses of Costa Rica and the National Household Survey of the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics of Mexico. The field work was carried out with direct and individual interviews with each of the heads or members of the household who were at the site at the time of the survey. The data was analyzed using logit models. The predominant job of the rural worker is the daily wage, which comes in 90% from agricultural activity, showing a high dependence of the rural area on agricultural activities for the generation of employment. The econometric results show that gender (male/female), schooling, occupation, household size and the health insurance scheme to which the head of the household belongs significantly explain the probability of falling into income poverty. Finally, public programs or policies should consider the gender approach and create rural jobs in agricultural activities and activities in complementary sectors.
