Changes in economic inequality in Europe and Latin America in the first decades of the twenty-first century

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 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.
