RELATIVE WAGES, SKILL SHORTAGES, AND CHANGES IN INCOME DISTRIBUTION IN COLOMBIA,
Abstract
An analysis is made of the income distribution relative to the economic growth in Colombia. Distribution of income in Colombia has been, and is, very unequal: 10 percent of the population of the large cities receives about half of the total personal income. This study examines the hypothesis that this inequality will widen if growth of the modern sector of the economy is retarded after the transition from agrarianism to the dual economy is begun.
