Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze income inequality in the formal and infor-mal markets and determine in which of the two there is greater inequality. For which the theoretical foundations are established, a descriptive analysis of the behavior of the variables is made and estimates are made of the Gini, Theil and Palma indices, commonly used to determine income inequality in a population. The results show that, although there are competitive incomes in informality, the distribution of income in this market is more unequal than its formal counterpart.
