This indicator is not without its limitations, since income may not be sufficient to guarantee autonomy. It is hard to carry out an analysis from a gender perspective using traditional measures of poverty because these are based on household per capita income. Using this indicator means assuming that the distribution of income within households is egalitarian, which masks the lack of autonomy experienced by women who do not perform remunerated activities because they are devoted to domestic work and care of others (mainly children, and dependent family members).
