Sumario:This article explores the perception held by young adults between the ages of 18 and 29 on the treatment of the poor population in Chile. Specifically, it identifies any statistically significant differences in this perception according to the young adults’ socioeconomic group and political position. The data used in this study come from the Economic and Social Inequality Survey (UNDP-DES) carried out in 2016 by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) office in Chile. This study selected a sample within the age range of 18 to 29, which includes a total of 632 cases with representation at the national level. The results indicate that, on average, young people in Chile perceive that the poor population is treated unfairly. While there are no significant differences between men and women, there are differences according to where they live: young adults in north of Chile perceive a much worse treatment of the poor population than those in other parts of the country. In terms of socioeconomic level, the high-income group perceive a better treatment of poor people in Chile than young people from middle- to low-income homes. Finally, in terms of political position, those who identify with the political right perceive a better treatment of the poor population than young adults who consider themselves to be moderate or have no political position.
