Abstract

The objective of this research focuses on the analysis of statistical indicators related to the population of San Miguelito in the period 2006-20015, in such a way that trends can be evidenced in the series of indicators that in turn allow to project future behaviors of these variables. The analysis of trends can contribute significantly in the development of public programs and strategies.

The study is based on quantitative information from secondary sources, compiled from official sources, such as the Ministry of Health and the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic.

Among the most important results that can be highlighted are: significant population growth, particularly the township Rufina Alfaro, a significant number of its population lives with monthly incomes of less than 250 balboas, only 19% achieve an income of more than 1,000 balboas. In this district, it is necessary to pay attention to school dropouts and continue monitoring the rates of people with AIDS, although it is true that the trend is to decrease, even the number of cases per year is significant.
