Summary

Descripción general del contenido del recurso.

Este trabajo documenta los cambios en la distribución del ingreso de Argentina desde mediados de los setenta hasta mediados de los años 2000. La desigualdad aumentó significativamente durante este período, con dos tipos de episodios que dieron forma a este perfil creciente: crisis macroeconómicas profundas y períodos de repentina e intensa liberalización económica. El considerable aumento en la desigualdad durante los noventa aparece asociado a reasignaciones en contra de los sectores intensivos en el uso de trabajo no calificado y al cambio tecnológico sesgado a favor del trabajo calificado, ambos factores estimulados por el proceso de integración económica. La profundidad y la velocidad de las reformas, junto con la escasez de políticas públicas para facilitar la transición, contribuyeron a la severidad de los cambios distributivos. Las crisis macroeconómicas y las recuperaciones posteriores contribuyeron a la volatilidad de la desigualdad a lo largo de esta tendencia creciente. La crisis de 2001/02 disparó los niveles de desigualdad, aunque estos retornaron a los niveles previos a la crisis con la rápida recuperación de la economía y la implementación de grandes programas de transferencias monetarias. This paper documents the changes in the income distribution in Argentina from the mid-1970s to the mid-2000s. Over the period inequality increased substantially. Two types of episodes have shaped this upward trend: deep macroeconomic crises and periods of sudden and intense economic liberalization. The sizeable rise in inequality in the 1990s seems to be associated to reallocations against unskilled-labor intensive sectors, and skilled-biased technological change within most sectors, both factors stimulated by the process of economic integration. The depth and speed of the reforms and the scarcity of public policies to ease the transition contributed to the particular severity of the income distribution changes. The macro crises and the subsequent recoveries contributed to the volatility of inequality along this upward trend. The large macroeconomic crisis of 2001/02 triggered a large jump in inequality, although income disparities returned to pre-crisis levels as the economy recovered fast, and large cash transfer programs were implemented.
