Ethnicity, Ethnic groups, Gaps, IndexAbstract
Ethnicity is a complex concept to define in the social sciences. This complexity is since various authors recognize ethnicity as a set of racial, social, and cultural characteristics shared by a group of people. As a result, the nature of ethnicity is multidimensional. This paper aims to construct an index that measures the multidimensionality of ethnicity using household survey data from Peru in 2007 and 2017. The method used to construct the index is Principal Component Analysis (PCA). In addition, a correlational analysis of the proposed index with the incidence of poverty, educational and labor variables is presented. Among the results found, there is a greater ethnic intensity in the population living in poverty, in illiteracy conditions
and with lower educational levels, as well as in the selfemployed population.
