| Summary: | In recent years, Ecuador has gone through a severe economic and political crisis. Inequality indicators for the 1995-1998 period, which are analized in depth in this paper, exhibit a rising trend. The evidence indicates that the most significant factors that contribute to inequality are education, belonging to the agricultural sector, gender, and the degree of job formality. Disaggregating the sample according to these characteristics shows that different sources of inequality are found in each group. This may be due to changes in the productive structure of families, such as, the female participation and migration process, which increased in 1998. |
