Aim: This study focuses on the construction of a multi-dimensional dynamic indicator of the persistence of poverty over time between different generations from the quantitative and qualitative survey Vulnerabilities and Chronic Poverty in Senegal carried out in 2008/2009. Place and Duration of the Study: Laboratoire de Recherche sur les Transformations Economiques et Sociales (LARTES), University Cheikh Anta Diop of Dakar (UCAD), Senegal, between 2008 and 2009. Methodology: Based on a national sample consists of 2,048 biographies the study was based on non-monetary family indicators of poverty to understand the complex reality of poverty dynamics by generation. Results: The results highlight a complex mechanism of poverty transmission and provide information on trends (chronic poverty, transient poverty, not poverty) of trajectories over the generations. These results suggest the establishment of policies targeted to specific age group of individuals to allow local management of the problem of poverty, which previously was not necessarily the case. Thus, progress must be made to deepen our understanding of the causes of poverty, and improve the effectiveness of policies to reduce it.
