This paper analyzes the income inequality phenomenon through a multidimensional interaction approach whose dimensions are components of a trade globalization process. A Complex Networks methodology is used. The analysis reliability lies in Bootstrapping process, which consists of identifying Classification Trees from a random sampling, by their efficiency and stability. Results indicate that the income inequality changes, derived from greater economic integration, depend on urban growth and the rule of law in agricultural countries; in countries with a strong service sector they depend on the ability to transform their qualified labor into high-tech exports and economic growth.

Keywords : Income Inequality; Globalization Trade; Classification and Regression Tree (CART); C44; D33; E25; F1; F2.
