Zusammenfassung:	Alesina and Angeletos (2005) and Alesina and Glaeser (2004) argue that income. - redistribution preferences vary systematically between the different regions and. - influence the size of government and the composition of public spending. This article. - analyses the demand for redistribution in Latin America, paying particular attention. - to the effects of mobility expectations on this demand. The findings suggest that. - demand for redistribution is driven primarily by self-interest and by considerations. - of fairness based on the inequality of opportunities. They also reveal the importance. - of past mobility, while the prospect of upward mobility (POUM) hypothesis advanced. - by Benabou and Ok (2001) is rejected in the case of the Latin America region.
