Book Description
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.

Book Description
"This paper has analyzed the changes in the distribution of income in Colombia since 1976 using data for urban economy (seven largest metropolitan areas) and for the manufacturing sector. Evidence is shown that the structural reforms that took place in the early 1990s have been related to higher income concentration in Colombia, where levels of inequality were already impressively high. The results suggest that both trade liberalization and skill complementary technological change have a positive impact on skill premiums"--p. 5.

Book Description
This paper applies a simple two-factor framework that separates shifts in the relative supply of and demand for more educated workers. The results indicate that the decrease in the skill premium between 1976 and 1981 is related to the reduction in the relative demand for skilled workers, and the post-1991 increase in relative wages can be attributed to the rapid increase in their relative demand. Changes in relative supply are less helpful in explaining differences in relative wage behavior across periods. Moreover, the paper argues that trade liberalization is not the driving force behind changes in relative demand. In fact, changes in the share of skilled employment have taken place within industries, rather than involving a sharp sectorial reallocation of workers. We emphasize skill complementary technological change as the key factor behind changes in the relative demand. Further evidence in this direction is provided by the fact that the largest changes in the relative earnings of the more educated workers have taken place in non-traded sectors.
