Abstract
According to OECD, the recent process of deterioration of the income distribution chain in developing and developed countries has been marked by increased participation of 1% of households with higher income. In the past decade, Brazil has escaped the general trend of deterioration of the income distribution. This paper shows that the reduction of economic inequality was accompanying the reluctance of the participation of top 1%, arguing that the reproduction of the movement more generally requires that this participation has been reduced in the current decade, to enable sustained growth and development with social justice.
Highlights
The reduction of income inequality and the participation of the top 1% in the Brasil, 2000-2010
De acordo com a instituição, The landmark 2008 OECD report Growing Unequal? showed that the gap between rich and poor had been growing in most OECD countries
A few countries have been able to buck this trend: income inequality has recently fallen in Chile and Mexico, but the richest in these two countries still have incomes more than 25 times those of the poorest
Summary
The reduction of income inequality and the participation of the top 1% in the Brasil, 2000-2010. A maioria das iniciativas é justificada na deterioração da distribuição de renda corrente nos países desenvolvidos a partir da década de 1980, que tem sido marcada por uma redução da participação dos estratos inferiores e intermediários e um incremento daquela relativa do estrato 10% superior, em especial do 1% tope da distribuição. Quando se analisa a evolução global da distribuição de renda corrente, nota-se que a experiência brasileira apresentou trajetória destoante das observadas tanto nos países desenvolvidos como nos em desenvolvimento. The average income of the richest 10% of the population is about nine times that of the poorest 10% In some countries such as Israel and the United States — inequality has increased further. Finalmente, é analisada a renitência da participação do 1% tope no processo e a necessidade de alteração dessa situação visando ao crescimento sustentado que possa se traduzir em desenvolvimento com maior justiça social na atual década
