Abstract
This research measures the impact of economic growth, poverty incidence and high school enrolment in Peru on national income inequality using an annual time series for the period 1985-2022, applying the Kuznets curve theory. A dynamic autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model is used. The conclusion is that if economic growth increases by 1%, income inequality decreases by 1.4884%. Meanwhile, education and poverty incidence are directly related to income inequality since a 1% increase in education and poverty incidence increases income inequality by 0.9849 and 0.8933%, respectively.
