| description | This paper studies and describes income inequality in Colombia and its average schooling, using cross-sectional data from different specialized databases for the period 1990 to 2018, in order to highlight recentdynamics of inequality reduction. These dynamics go against the trend of gradual increase in income inequality that developed economies have experienced since 1970. The cross-data show that the apparentimprovement in the average educational level in Colombia, used as a proxy variable for the average level of human capital, is concomitant with the reduction of income inequality. |

El presente artículo estudia y describe la desigualdad de ingresos en Colombia y su promedio de escolarización, usando datos cruzados de distintas bases de datos especializadas del periodo de 1990 a 2018, con el objeto de resaltar las recientes dinámicas de reducción en la desigualdad. Las cuales van en contra de la tendencia de gradual aumento en la desigualdad de ingresos que las economías desarrolladas presentan desde 1970. Con ello se demuestra, por medio de los datos cruzados, como la aparente mejora en el nivel medio educativo en Colombia, usada como variable proxy del nivel de capital humano medio, es concomitante a la reducción de la desigualdad en ingresos. Este artigo estuda e descreve a desigualdade de renda na Colômbia e sua escolaridade média, a partir de dados cruzados de diferentes bancos de dados especializados do período de 1990 a 2018, a fim de destacar a dinâmica recente de redução da desigualdade. O que vai contra a tendência de aumento gradual da desigualdade de renda que as economias desenvolvidas apresentam desde 1970. Isso mostra, por meio de dados cruzados, como a aparente melhora do nível educacional médio na Colômbia, utilizada como uma variável proxy para o nível médio de capital humano é concomitante com a redução da desigualdade de renda.
