note = "The main emphasis of this work focuses on the analysis of
the evolution of income inequality in the Latin American
and Caribbean during the last 30 years. However, in
addition to analyzing the work in terms of economic
development, the region will also be analyzed in terms of
social development, in order to have a more complete view
of the analysis. To get there, firstly we will start giving
information related to the inequality terms, so we can
understand the different factors and causes of inequality.
Secondly, the macroeconomic context of the region is
reviewed to broaden the analysis of inequality. And getting
into matter, in the middle, the main part of the work will
be empirical, using two indicators of inequality: the Gini
index and the participation in the total income of the
extreme quintiles (20% lowest income, 20% highest income).
And finally, a comparison is made between the dimensions of
the definition, that is, in terms of social development
(Human Development Index) and in economic terms (Gini
index) to check whether there is a relationship in both
indicators or not.",
