Summary: The object of this work is to empirically analyze the main determinants of income inequality in Brazil and its demographic regions in 2019. Using the income inequality decomposition method proposed by Cowell and Fiorio (2011) and making use of nonidentified from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNADC), it was possible to identify that between regions and economic sectors, schooling did not have a predominant influence in explaining wage inequality, given that a relevant portion of inequality is being produced in the labor market, as that formalization was the factor that most contributed to explain inequality in the North and Northeast regions.
