Descripción
This paper documents patterns and recent developments on income inequality in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). New comparative international evidence confirms that LAC is a region of high inequality, although maybe not the highest in the world. Income inequality has fallen in the 2000s, suggesting a turning point from the substantial increases of the 1980s and 1990s. The recent fall in inequality is significant and widespread, but it does not seem to be based on strong fundamentals.
Este artículo documenta los patrones recientes de cambio en la desigualdad de ingresos en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Nueva evidencia internacional confirma que ALC es una región de alta desigualdad, aunque quizás no la máxima en el mundo. La desigualdad de ingresos ha caído en los 2000s, lo cual sugiere un punto de inflexión respecto del sustancial aumento de las disparidades de ingresos en los 80s y 90s. La reciente caída en la desigualdad es significativa y extendida, pero no parece estar firmemente basada en un cambio de fundamentals.
