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 reciente caída en la desigualdad es significativa y extendida, pero no parece estar firmemente basada en un cambio de fundamentals.
