This paper analyses individual-level data taken from the Spanish tax agency between 2012 and 2017 and documents the existence of an increasing wealth gap in Spain in this period. Through a comparative analysis, we find a clear difference in wealth accumulation patterns between the two genders, especially with regards to holdings of equity in productive companies. We also find that both women and men in the highest quantiles of the wealth distribution have increased their wealth and that men hold more assets that women. With respect to income distribution, the data shows that men’s income accounts for a larger share of total income, which reinforces the gender gap related to economic resources.Mientras que la brecha de género en los ingresos ha sido ampliamente investigada hasta la fecha, se ha prestado menos atención a la brecha de género en la riqueza. Este artículo analiza datos a nivel individual de la Agencia Tributaria española entre 2012 y 2017 y documenta la existencia de una creciente brecha de riqueza en España en este período. A través de un análisis comparativo, encontramos una clara diferencia en los patrones de acumulación de riqueza entre ambos géneros, especialmente en lo que respecta a la tenencia de acciones empresariales. Además, encontramos que tanto las mujeres como los hombres en los cuantiles más altos de la distribución de la riqueza han aumentado su riqueza, mientras que los hombres tienen más activos que las mujeres. Con respecto a la distribución del ingreso, los datos muestran que el ingreso de los hombres representa una mayor proporción sobre el total, lo que refuerza la brecha de género relacionada con los recursos económicos.Universidad Complutense de Madrid20232023-01-0120232023-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/97493reponame:Docta Complutenseinstname:Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM)Inglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:docta.ucm.es:20.500.14352/974932026-06-02T12:44:21Z
