Concentration of wealth and income in post-pandemic Latin America: Measurement, results, and perspective

Producción científica: Contribución a una revista › Artículo de revista

Resumen

Este artículo examina las dificultades de medir la desigualdad en América Latina, explora las diferentes fuentes disponibles y sitúa la magnitud del problema en una perspectiva comparativa. Con este fin, el documento se organiza en cuatro secciones. La primera considera los problemas de medir la riqueza, los ingresos y la alta desigualdad a nivel global, pero especialmente en América Latina, donde se subestima. La segunda sección se refiere a la situación distributiva, las desigualdades y la concentración de la riqueza antes de la pandemia de la Covid-19. La tercera muestra los resultados preliminares generados por la pandemia con información disponible para 2020, 2021 y 2022 a nivel global y en América Latina, especialmente en Perú. Finalmente, en la cuarta sección, se proponen algunas hipótesis sobre lo que podría suceder con la concentración de la riqueza y la alta desigualdad a nivel global, pero especialmente en América Latina y Perú. De hecho, es una realidad compleja y vasta, donde hay muchos elementos comunes, particularidades y políticas nacionales a considerar.

The second section refers to the distributive situation, inequalities, and the concentration of wealth before the Covid-19 pandemic. The third shows the preliminary results generated by the pandemic with information available for 2020, 2021, and 2022 globally and in Latin America, and especially Peru.
