Abstract

(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) En vista de los últimos resultados, la lucha contra la pobreza en América Latina ha distado de ser satisfactoria. El enfoque estándar de las agencias crediticias multiculturales seguirá siendo limitado si no hace hincapié en el papel central de la distribución, así como la acumulación de activos productivos, especialmente el capital humano. Una vez eliminadas las distorsiones fiscales y comerciales mediante reformas estructurales, niveles insuficientes de acumulación de capital humano y físico y una distribución de activos altamente sesgada son factores críticos que limitan considerablemente el crecimiento en América Latina. Políticas dirigidas a reducir las desigualdades en la acumulación de activos deben ubicarse al centro de un nuevo enfoque de la erradicación de la pobreza y de un mayor crecimiento en América Latina al inicio del nuevo siglo.
