In this study, the Bolivian economy is analyzed, as well as the years of education and educational inequality measured with the Gini coefficient of education, and the effect they produce on income inequality measured with the Gini index of income is established. The objective is to determine the impact of the average years of education, educational inequality and the average monthly income on income inequality from 1989 to 2019 and propose public policies to reduce educational gaps. Based on the results obtained, the model is very well represented, and it can be noted that the Gini index of income (Gini) is positively related to the Gini coefficient of education (E) and negatively with the average years of education (AEP) by it is acronym in Spanish) and with the average monthly income (Income). Then, it is concluded that the Gini index of income (Gini) is determined by the Gini coefficient of education (E) in 0.45 units, as well as by the average years of education (AEP) in 0.23 units and by the average monthly income (Income) in 0.12 units. Consequently, educational inequality (E) is the factor with the greatest influence on income inequality (Gini) of Bolivians, therefore, politics are proposed that are aimed at reducing educational gaps as a measure to promote the economic development.
