Abstract

El presente trabajo realiza una aplicación para Argentina de la nueva metodología del cálculo de la polarización del ingreso desarrollada por Duclos-Esteban-Ray (2003) entre 1998 y 2002. Se comprobó que a pesar de la desaceleración del crecimiento de la desigualdad, la polarización aumentó su tasa de ascenso año tras año. La población de bajos ingresos fue la que más contribuyó a la polarización. Asimismo, la polarización se incrementó en cada una de las regiones.
