    La familia, en la forma primaria y esencial para la supervivencia biol?gica, material y afectiva de los seres humanos, a trav?s de las distintas etapas de vida. El hecho de que su organizaci?n y funciones atraviesen las esferas de la vida privada, no implica que sea una estructura aislada y autosuficiente; por el contrario, es parte constitutiva y org?nica de la sociedad, recibe el impacto de los fen?menos del contexto socioecon?mico y pol?tico, y a la vez, la calidad de vida familiar define en gran medida los recursos humanos con que cuenta cada sociedad.

    Ecuador, South America

    We examine the geographic dimensions of food consumption in Ecuador, which has one of the highest rates of chronic infant undernutrition in Latin America. We use statistical and spatial analyses to examine the distribution of food consumption and food poverty and to test and generate hypotheses of food poverty estimates at the district level. Results show that the food poor are concentrated in certain locations with a significant cluster identified in the central Andean region.
