It includes a discussion of data sources and measurement issues, evidence on the levels of inequality across countries and regions, an assessment of trends in these variables since the early 1980s, and a general discussion of their determinants. The available evidence suggests that on average the levels of national income inequality in the developing world increased in the 1980s and 1990s, and declined in the 2000s. Este artículo revisa la evidencia empírica sobre los niveles y las tendencias de la desigualdad monetaria en los países en desarrollo. El trabajo incluye un análisis de las fuentes de datos y los problemas de medición, evidencia sobre los niveles de desigualdad entre países y regiones, una evaluación de las tendencias de estas variables desde principios de los ochenta y una discusión general de sus determinantes. La evidencia disponible sugiere que, en promedio, los niveles de desigualdad de los países en desarrollo aumentaron en los años ochenta y noventa, y disminuyeron en la década del dos mil.
