More DescriptionSpanish edition ("Pobreza, Desigualdad y Formación del Capital Humano en América Latina, 1950-2025") Latin America is marked by wide inequality in income and entrenched poverty. This paper argues that the main reason these conditions persist is the lack of adequate education for new generations.

To bring the region quickly out of poverty, the report recommends that universal basic education be given to all young people in the next two decades.
