Crescimento, desigualdade e educação: notas para uma resenha com referência ao Brasil

Abstract

The present survey deals with a selection of issues related to the themes of economic growth, income inequality and the role of education in both growth enhancing and inequality reduction. It has three main constraints: (i) although containing references to the international experience, it is heavily focused on the Brazilian case; (ii) it deals mainly with applied (i.e., empirically oriented) studies; (iii) it does not explore all the interrelationships that simultaneously occur between growth, inequality and education.
