Resumen
GUARDIOLA, J.; GONZALEZ-GOMEZ, F. y RED DE MALNUTRICION EN IBEROAMERICA DEL PROGRAMA DE CIENCIA Y TECNOLOGIA PARA EL DESARROLLO (RED MEL-CYTED). The influence of inequality on undernutrition in Latin America: an economic perspective. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2010, vol.25, suppl.3, pp.38-43. ISSN 1699-5198.
In Latin America there is a significant social inequality and polarization, which obviously has an effect on the undernutrition in the region. The poverty, which is normally a consequence of inequality, is also one of the main causes of food insecurity. This paper deals with the connection between undernutrition inequality, the job and the education opportunities. The social inequality is a problem from the colonialism, therefore it would be convenient to undertake structural policies, so that the most deprived could benefit of education and labour opportunities.
