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.
