description El articulo ofrece una amplia panorámica del incremento de la desigualdad y construye una taxonomía internacional y multidimensional de la desigualdad económica. Se utiliza un análisis jerárquico de conglomerados que nos permite identificar cinco grupos de países con características distintivas de desigualdad económica, que muestran que, a pesar de las especificidades nacionales y regionales, tanto los países desarrollados como los países en desarrollo se enfrentan a importantes dificultades para reducir las disparidades sociales y económicas. La clasificación resultante puede ser útil para trazar un mapa de las distintas realidades nacionales de la desigualdad económica entre países. Los resultados sugieren que debería evitarse una estrategia internacional de "talla única" para abordar los diferentes patrones de desigualdad que hemos identificado en todo el mundo. Aun así, es crucial reconocer la importancia de las particularidades de cada grupo y de cada región geográfica en relación con un fenómeno complejo y multidimensional que se ha convertido en un reto global para el siglo XXI.

We use a hierarchical cluster analysis that enables us to identify five groups of countries with distinctive economic inequality characteristics, which show that, despite national and regional specificities, both developed and developing countries face important difficulties in reducing social and economic disparities. The resulting classification may be useful to map out the various national realities of economic inequality across countries. The results suggest that there should be avoided a “one size fits all” international strategy to address the different patterns of inequality that we have identified across the World. Still, it is crucial to acknowledge the importance of the particularities of each cluster and each geographic region regarding a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that has become a global challenge for the 21st Centuryapplication/pdftext/html10.21500/23825014.63652382-5014https://hdl.handle.net/10819/22267https://doi.org/10.21500/23825014.6365engUniversidad de San Buenaventurahttps://revistas.usb.edu.co/index.php/Cooperacion/article/download/6365/5263https://revistas.usb.edu.co/index.php/Cooperacion/article/download/6365/5272Núm. 1 , Año 2023 : Revista Internacional de Cooperación y Desarrollo7515210Revista Internacional de Cooperación y DesarrolloAlvaredo, F., Chancel, L., Piketty, T.
