Abstract
After decades of persistent disparities,
inequality in Brazil has fallen steadily over the last
fifteen years. This robust rate of decline has surpassed the
pace of the Latin American region as a whole, and is taking
place as inequality rises in several rapid-growth emerging
economies in other regions. This document examines the
recent trend in income inequality in Brazil, its key policy
drivers and some of the challenges ahead. It aims at
capturing some of the lessons behind Brazil?s experience to
share with other economies in the region and beyond.
