Abstract

Se plantea que desde el último cuarto del siglo pasado la transición demográfica creó condiciones para el aumento del ingreso per cápita, pero no hubo reducción de la pobreza, porque para una disminución significativa de ésta es preciso actuar sobre las desigualdades para atenuarlas. Finalmente, se argumenta que en Colombia nunca se ha intentado la reducción de las desigualdades y, en su lugar, la ortodoxia siempre ha propuesto como remedio a la pobreza y la desigualdad, el crecimiento económico. Se demuestra que el ciclo económico, aún en su fase expansiva, no está en capacidad de actuar sobre el componente estructural que reproduce la pobreza, y tan sólo lo hace de manera marginal en la coyuntura de crecimiento.
