1 Conservative transformation in Latin America: can social inclusion justify unsustainable production? Vivianne Ventura-Dias
2 Latin America: inequality and violence. Why so unequal? Why so violent? Conservative transformation: the left of the possible or pragmatic left. Who pays the costs of social inclusion? What next? Slow growth increases the costs of redistribution. Unsolved international financial crisis, slow growth of international trade, and slow growth of China. What will happen to the fragile new middle classes? Outline of the presentation

6 High levels of inequality as regards the distribution of: Income Consumption Land Access to education Access to basic services Inequality between women and men Inequality by race and ethnic groups Gini coefficient High Income 33.6 Europe and Central Asia South Asia North Africa and the Middle East East Asia and the Pacific 44.7 Sub-Saharan Africa 53.2 Latin America and the Caribbean Source: Asian Development Bank (as in Nora Lustig presentation at the Conference Social Inclusiveness in Asia s Emerging Middle Income Countries, ) Latin America: inequality of opportunities and of outcomes.
7 Between one-fifth and one-third of the high levels of earnings inequality in several countries in Latin America can be explained by the unequal opportunity associated with six circumstance characteristics: Gender Ethnicity Parental education levels Father s occupation and Birthplace Equality of opportunity seeks to level the playing field so that circumstances such as gender, ethnicity, birthplace, or family background, which are beyond the control of an individual, do not influence a person s life chances. Success in life should depend on people s choice, effort, and talents, not on their circumstances at birth. Barros, Ricardo P. de, Francisco H. G. Ferreira, et alia (2012), Measuring Inequality of Opportunities in Latin America and the Caribbean, Washington, D.C., The World Bank, pp. 1,131.

12 Income inequality in Latin America 1. Inequality reached very high levels in the last decades of the 20 th century; 2. Inequality in the region followed a declining trend in the last ten years or so of the 21 st century. 3. Although the trend was similar for all countries in the region, the magnitude of the change has been heterogeneous across countries and subregions in Latin America.

Latin America and the Caribbean in the Era of Global Value Chains, Washington, D. C.: IDB. Note: The size of the circles in each country indicates the total number of parent companies located in that country that own vertically linked subsidiaries in other countries. The thickness and colour intensity of the lines represent the number of bilateral vertical subsidiaries between each parent country and a corresponding host country. With exception of Mexico, Latin America has a weak participation in global supply chains
22 The pragmatic left Social inclusion without social conflict, but social inclusion with growth; Conservative productive structure to sustain redistribution without pain; Subsidise consumption to encourage private investment; subsidise consumption of public goods privately provided; State as arbiter of social conflicts but market role in social provision is not questioned Market guardians Macroeconomic recipe: macroeconomic fundamentals first, social inclusion later; Growth preceding job creation; Fiscal austerity leading to cuts in social programmes; Deepening the privatisation of remaining Public Enterprises Reducing the role of the State. The conservative transformation: in spite of their errors, progressive governments fall because of their positive achievements.
