-- Childhood is considered as a momentous step in the evolutionary process of man, characterized by two phenomena: growth and development, which is essential, an adequate nutrition. The havoc that causes malnutrition suffered in childhood are the most lamented by society, since at this stage the greatest impact it suffers from the brain of the child, which would be irreversible structural and metabolic alterations, however, child malnutrition is not only a problem of lack of food, it is a deeper social conflict, which must be taken into account in providing solutions. The overall objective is to determine the degree of inequality of the socio-economic level in chronic child malnutrition in children less than 5 years. The methodology was based on studies of secondary source descriptive character based on the results of the national demographics and health 2005 (ENDES) survey and conducted an investigation of the wickedness of the socio-economic level and its relationship with chronic malnutrition in children less than 5 years in the Peru. Results indicate inequality between the socio-economic level and the unequal distribution of chronic under nutrition, as children of the Sierra de quintile I have 6.6 times more likely to have chronic malnutrition than boys of the IV and V quintiles in that same region. Conclusion children continue to be the most vulnerable group in our society, in spite of our economic growth of 8% by 2010. 65% of children are poor, and half have a level of poor nutrition. The problem is even greater if we consider the differences between urban and rural children undergoing two thirds and one-third of children with normal nutrition, respectively. -- KEYWORDS: Chronic child malnutrition, inequality, poverty, economic partner level.
