Abstract

Este artículo compara el comportamiento de la inflación para el hogar promedio y diversos tipos de hogares de adultos mayores en Colombia. Los resultados indican que, en promedio, los adultos mayores gastan una mayor proporción de su ingreso en vivienda y salud y una menor proporción en educación, y que experimentaron una mayor inflación que la población en general entre diciembre de 2008 y mayo de 2015. Los hogares de adultos mayores más pobres gastan una mayor proporción en vivienda y alimentación, y para estos la inflación fue mayor que para los de adultos mayores de altos ingresos.
