MORENO AVENDANO, Julita et al. Territorial inequalities of multicultural cities. The case of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.64, pp.601-631.  Epub May 06, 2021. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est20201570.

Using the Social Gap Index and the Gini index, intra-urban inequalities in the main cities of the state of Oaxaca during 1990-2010 are analyzed. The results show that the greatest weight when measuring inequality is held by the quality of housing, the level of education, and to a lesser extent, the quantity of native population, showing different dynamics in the cities, with an upward trend in inequality. It is concluded that the current development process in these cities has not been resolved and is increasing inequality, preferably in the cities with a smaller native population.

Keywords : intra-urban inequality; social backwardness; Gini index; multicultural cities.
