"Inequality in Latin America: a synthesis of recent research on the levels, trends, effects and determinants of inequality in its different dimensions" by Patricia Medrano, Claudia Sanhueza, and Dante Contreras for the Inter-Regional Inequality Facility 

The Inter-Regional Inequality Facility exists to promote inter-regional dialogue and knowledge sharing on the issue of inequality - how it affects development, and how it can be addressed by policy - between Africa, Asia and Latin America. This study is part of their regional studies and its objective is to uncover what inequality means in Latin America in different dimensions; what the consequences are for poverty reduction and growth; what the causes are of inequality; and to review some policy interventions that have been useful in fighting poverty. It also aims to discover where we are in terms of amount of knowledge on inequality in Latin America, and what is left to find out.
