description This paper attempts to reveal the relationship between inequality-poverty from the exposure of empirical and theoretical elements, which allows, on the one hand, to outline that the approach of both phenomena has generally been isolated; and on the other, to expose a proposal that shows the importance of recognizing the relationship between inequality-poverty to improve the society well-being. To validate the proposal, a simulation was carried out in which the instrumentalization of the Gini coefficient and the Poverty Lines was involved, showing as a result the existence of the relationship and that when applying redistribution mechanisms, such as limiting the tolerance threshold of inequality of income, poverty is reduced. Therefore, it is essential to defend the right to live in a more egalitarian society, since poverty persists, fundamentally, because of inequality.

To validate the proposal, a simulation was carried out in which the instrumentalization of the Gini coefficient and the Poverty Lines was involved, showing as a result the existence of the relationship and that when applying redistribution mechanisms, such as limiting the tolerance threshold of inequality of income, poverty is reduced. Therefore, it is essential to defend the right to live in a more egalitarian society, since poverty persists, fundamentally, because of inequality.   Este artículo intenta develar la relación entre desigualdad-pobreza a partir de la exposición de elementos empíricos y teóricos, que permite, por un lado, plantear que la aproximación a ambos fenómenos ha sido generalmente aislada, y por otro, presentar una propuesta que muestra la importancia de reconocer la relación entre desigualdad-pobreza para mejorar el bienestar de la sociedad. Para validar la propuesta se hizo una simulación en la que se involucró la instrumentalización del coeficiente de Gini y las líneas de pobreza, y que mostró como resultado la existencia de la relación y que al aplicar mecanismos de redistribución, como limitar el umbral de tolerancia de la desigualdad de ingresos, se reduce la pobreza. Por ende, es imprescindible defender el derecho a vivir en una sociedad más igualitaria, puesto que la pobreza persiste, fundamentalmente, por la desigualdad.
