This research work identifies the social and economic factors of the condition of poverty and inequality existing in the homes of the community of Majara, located in the village of Lídice, Province of Panamá Oeste, in order to contribute to favorable decision making and implement development mechanisms for a better quality of life in the priority areas. We reviewed theories that support the factors that condition poverty, and the existing controversies in their approaches, in order to identify the precise variables to the study and at the same time, visualize the most effective variables to achieve the purpose of the study. The results were presented through tables and graphs that describe the behaviors observed and the perception of the respondents about their family socioeconomic conditions. The analysis of the results shows that the population of Majara lives in conditions of severe poverty. The economically active population is in the informal subsistence economy, with low income levels; as well as schooling that reaches an average of six years. They lack the essential services to satisfy the basic family needs, limited access to drinking water and sanitary services, among other deficiencies, which represents another aspect within the conditions of poverty.
