La historia latinoamericana se ha caracterizado por sus altos y persistentes niveles de desigualdad. Frente a ello, la gran mayoría de las investigaciones académicas y de la gestión política han abordado el tema a partir del estudio, la medición y la intervención política sobre la problemática de la pobreza.
