First, it deals with social institutions related to gender inequality and proposes new composite indices to measure them. Using these indices, some interesting empirical connections between social institutions related to gender inequality and several relevant development outcomes are examined at the cross-country level. The second part of the book is concerned with the historical development of another type of inequality which is relevant for developing countries: inequality between regions. The topic of regional convergence in Colombia during the last quarter of the 20th century is analyzed using different approaches and focusing on both income and social indicators. 606 $aConvergence (Economics)$zColombia$y20th century 606 $aEconomic development$zColombia 606 $aSex discrimination$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aConvergence (Economics) 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aSex discrimination 676 $a306 700 $aCaballero$b Boris Branisa$01369278 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910720529303321 996 $aSocial institutions, gender inequality, and regional convergence in developing countries$93395379 997 $aUNINA
