| Summary, etc. | Cet article réexamine de façon sélective l’abondante littérature économique des 20 dernières années sur la relation entre inégalité et développement. Son principal argument porte sur la distinction nécessaire, et souvent négligée, entre « inégalité des revenus », ou des résultats, et « inégalité des chances » comme frein au développement. Les justifications théoriques d’une relation négative entre développement et inégalité suggèrent que ce n’est pas l’inégalité des résultats, revenu ou consommation, qui est un frein au développement. Ce sont d’autres dimensions, plus fondamentales, de l’inégalités économique et sociale, comme les différences dans les familles ou les milieux sociaux d’origine, dans l’accès à l’éducation, aux soins de santé, au crédit, à la sécurité ou à la justice, ou encore la discriminations à l’égard de certains groupes ethniques ou des femmes. Il se trouve que l’inégalité des revenus sur laquelle se concentre presqu’exclusivement la littérature empirique sur inégalité et développement n’est qu’un marqueur très imparfait de cette définition plus générale de l’inégalité, qui correspond à l’« inégalité des chances ». Mais en même temps, et de façon paradoxale, corriger ces dimensions de l’inégalité requiert le plus souvent des politiques impliquant une certaine redistribution des revenus, bien que l’inégalité des revenus soit plutôt une conséquence que la principale cause des inégalités qui compromettent le développement. |
| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | This paper offers a selective survey of the abundant theoretical, empirical and policy-oriented literature on the relationship between inequality and development in the last 20 years or so. The main argument of this survey revolves around the necessary, but often ignored distinction to be made between the inequality of outcomes, including income or consumptions expenditures, and the inequality of opportunity as an obstacle to development. Theoretical justifications of a negative relationship between economic development and inequality indeed suggest that it is not the inequality of economic outcomes, income or consumption, per se that hinders economic development but other dimensions of economic and social inequality, including family background, access to the credit market, education, health care, security, justice and so-called “horizontal” inequality between ethnic groups or gender. It turns out that the inequality of income, on which the empirical literature focuses almost exclusively, is a very imperfect marker of this broader definition of inequality, that corresponds to the inequality of opportunity. At the same time, and somewhat paradoxically, correcting these various dimensions of inequality requires policies that imply some redistribution of income, even though income inequality is more a consequence than the main cause of those inequalities that actually hinder development. |
