Abstract

VILLEGAS, Horacio. Desigualdad en el área rural de Bolivia: ¿cuán importante es la educación?. rlde [online]. 2006, n.6, pp.11-31. ISSN 2074-4706.

This paper examines the inequality of income distribution in rural Bolivia during the period 1999-2002. The evidence shows education accounts for between 6 and 8 percent of income inequality among labor, while income differences between agricultural laborers and workers in other sectors explain between 15 and 20 percent of inequality. In this manner, education becomes a fundamental variable for explaining inequality; nonetheless, it is not the most important.
