Abstract
Summary. This article analyses the causal determinants of the distribution of income in Peru (DIP) over the period 1985-2017. There is empirical evidence supporting the assumption that the level of GDP per capita and the subdued and unsustained economic growth of the economy has worsened the DIP, reflected in a causation relationship in the form of W, with Kuznets’ U-invested scenario, which reflects a dual economy with differences in productivity, low levels of human capital and institutional weakness, not being met. It is recommended that the market-state/society relationship be balanced with free market and non-rentist economy policies, investment policies in human capital, innovation and technology, strengthening social capital — in the direction of endogenous economic growth — of inclusive and sustainable human development.
