Abstract

Este artigo resume os resultados de duas recentes pesquisas desenvolvidas pelos autores no tema da educação e renda. Busca-se (i) estabelecer uma relação entre as distribuições da escolaridade e da renda e (ii) uma explicação para o fato de haver certa tendência à manutenção da desigualdade da renda nos países latino-americanos. O artigo apresenta evidências que sustentam as conclusões teóricas e discute as conseqüências da combinação dos resultados obtidos. Conclui-se que a má distribuição da escolaridade determina a desigualdade da renda, o que cria condições ao favorecimento das classes de maior poder aquisitivo na distribuição de subsídios educacionais. Constitui-se, pois, o que chamamos de 'círculo vicioso da desigualdade', em que a má distribuição de escolaridade de um país gera as condições suficientes à sua perpetuação, implicando a manutenção da desigualdade da renda.
