This research aims to examine the causes and consequences of inequality in terms of human development, economic growth, social cohesion and community dynamics, as well as to examine the current manifestations of inequality in various social, economic but mainly political spheres. Through this exhaustive review, we seek to understand not only the origins of inequality in Latin America, but also its effects on society, the economy and human welfare.

This study is based on an exhaustive documentary analysis that includes academic sources, reports from international organizations, government documents and relevant publications on social inequality in Latin America. The review of existing literature on the subject allowed reflection on the various forms, tools and methods to address inequalities.

These documents were written with a different intention from this one, within which we try to understand them with their own approach, but also with the value given to each research argument supported by their authors in each of their investigations. .
