In 1991 Chile ended the military dictatorship and a democratic government took place eighteen years after the last one that was elected by means of the ballot box. The country was found with serious social and specially housing deficiencies, that were confronted in a moment of high growth in national income and a social housing policy focused on the poorest households. The results were praised by several international organizations. However, Chile has been characterized since then to present one of the most unequal income distributions in the world. Therefore, in this article the results of the Chilean housing policy between 1990 and 1998 is analyzed and the different levels of household income are considered taking into account income deciles. The results bring to discussion the need to consider the income inequality in policy analysis |
