Abstract:Después de que lo tildaron durante mucho tiempo de ser uno de los países más desigualitarios del mundo, Brasil experimenta desde la segunda mitad de los años noventa del siglo pasado una disminución de sus desigualdades de ingresos. Esta evolución es el resultado del proceso de “desindustrialización relativa” en el cual entró este país a finales de los años ochenta y no una consecuencia de las políticas económicas que emprendió el gobierno de Lula. Al contrario de lo que se podía suponer, la aparición de una n… Show more
“…The distributional implications of the new regime were similar to those in Chile. Between 1960 and 1970, the income share of the poorest 50% decreased from 17.4% to 14.9%, while that of the wealthiest 10% increased by seven percentage point from 39.6% to 46.7% (Gaulard, 2011). According to Sousa's estimations, the income share of the top 1% rose from 18% before the democratic interruption to 26% by the early 1970s (Sousa, 2018).…”

“…Accordingly, social policies based on cash transfers have a crucial impact on poverty reduction, but they are seen to be less effective for promoting redistribution (Gaulard 2011;Lavinas 2013;Lustig et al 2013). Analysts also question the sustainability of the decrease in inequalities in Brazil given the current adverse confluence of modest (or even negative) economic growth, "premature" deindustrialisation, a "reprimarisation" of exports, and falling commodity prices.…”

“…Para Brasil, Gaulard (2011) afirma que: La primera causa, y la más obvia, de la baja de las desigualdades desde 1994 parece ser la evolución de la inflación y las políticas instauradas para luchar contra el alza de los precios.
