Descripción
This paper explores the direct effect of increasing education on the levels of earnings inequality by carrying out microsimulations for the Latin American countries. We find that the direct effect of the increase in education experienced by the region in the last two decades was unequalizing, and that this result is expected to hold for future improvements in education, a fact that is closely linked to the convexity of the returns to education.
Este trabajo explora el efecto directo del aumento de la educación sobre la desigualdad salarial a través de microsimulaciones para todos los países de América Latina. El trabajo encuentra que el impacto directo del incremento educativo experimentado en la región en las últimas dos décadas fue desigualador, y que este resultado es esperable que se repita para futuras mejoras educativas. Estos resultados están estrechamente vinculados a la convexidad en los retornos a la educación.
