1. DESIGUALDAD Y NUEVAS CLASES MEDIAS
Se afirma normalmente que América Latina es la región más desigual del
mundo, y esto es cierto si se considera la media regional de los índices de des-
igualdad de los diferentes países y no la desigualdad entre los individuos de la
región (Gasparini et al., 2008). La novedad es que, después de haber aumentado
durante la década de la crisis de la deuda y en la primera mitad de los años no-
venta, en la pasada década la desigualdad ha disminuido en doce de los diecisiete
países para los que se contaba con información entre 2000 y 2006 (López-Calva
y Lustig, 2009).
