Abstract: This chapter contains a comparative analysis of the changes in the
inequality of family income distribution in the last two decades in Latin America
and Europe. The study examines the degree to which the economic-productive factors—
associated with the primary income distribution—or, on the contrary, the
social policies—linked to the secondary distribution—reveal structural differences
in economic inequality between regions in the 2000–2017 period. Based on a wide
sample of countries, the evolution of inequality is compared within and between
regions. The dissimilarity of these behaviours is examined as well as how valid
certain economic-institutional factors are to give an account of the changes that
occurred within each region.
The chapter shows that, in the last two decades of the twenty-first century,
Western Europe and Latin America have reduced their economic inequality gap,
although following different paths: while inequality decreased in the majority of
Latin American countries, an inverse process, although moderate, has been taking
place in the majority of Europe. While both trends had national exceptions, the evidence
presented helps us to deduce that it was simultaneously due to productive
changes and to changes in the growth style, and to transformations in the redistributive
efficiency of expenditure on social policies. |
