Does Race and Gender InequalityImpact Income Growth /World bank

Using Integrated Public Use Microdata            Series–United States micro-census data from 1960 to 2010,            this paper examines whether racial and gender income            disparities beget inequality by differentially impacting the            growth prospects of the poor, the middle class, and the            rich. Racial and gender inequality is found to be bad for            income growth of the poor, but not for that of the rich. An            investigation into the channels of this effect suggests that            higher racial and gender inequality is associated with lower            human capital accumulation among the poor and a reduction in            the quality of their jobs.
