Abstract

Este trabajo tiene por objeto demostrar que entre los anios 2003 y 2015 el componente de mercado relacionado con el crecimiento económico ha sido mas significativo en explicar la disminucion de la desigualdad que la expansion de las politicas redistributivas del Estado. Bajo el metodo de descomposicion del Gini busca tambien cuantificar el impacto marginal de las politicas sociales en la desigualdad. A partir de un analisis de la EPH fue posible demostrar que el cambio atribuible a las politicas del Estado fue del 21% mientras que el 79% restante se explica por los factores del mercado. Entre 2003 y 2007, casi la totalidad del cambio se explica por el mercado. En tanto, entre 2011 y 2015, el componente del Estado ascendio al 45%. El programa de pensiones no contributivas evidencia un mayor impacto redistributivo por motivo de su participacion en el ingreso de las familias. La Asignacion Universal por Hijo es el programa social con la canalizacion hacia las familias mas pobres.
