 Income and Human Capital Inequality and Ethnicity in the Americas During the Second Era of Globalization (1960–2010)Chapter Chapter 8 in Changes in Population, Inequality and Human Capital Formation in the Americas in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, 2019, pp 133-155 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract The aim of this chapter is to present the results on the impact of ethnicity on inequality, in terms of both income and educational achievement, in the Americas (North and South). It focuses on the period of the second era of globalization, from 1960 to 2010, before debates on Brexit in Europe and the adoption of protectionist economic policies in the United States. This period was chosen because of the intensification of international trade and interaction between North and South American countries. In this context, the chapter is specifically interested in the different implications of the racial composition of the labor force for inequality measures and employment. Although unequal opportunity between blacks, whites, and indigenous peoples narrowed over the period, greater public efforts are needed to fully achieve equal opportunity.
