Spanish Abstract: Este documento tiene por objetivo realizar un analisis de la distribucion del ingreso en Colombia destacando las heterogeneidades en la explicacion de la desigualdad para cada departamento del pais. Se toma como referencia el coeficiente de Gini y se estima su descomposicion por fuentes de ingreso entre 2002 y 2015. En los resultados se encuentra que hay diferencias en la importancia de las fuentes de ingreso que explican la reduccion de la desigualdad en Colombia, lo que se asocia a las caracteristicas especificas de los departamentos y los cambios en la composicion ocupacional, siendo la reduccion de la participacion del ingreso no laboral y su desigualdad una de las fuentes de ingreso mas destacadas en la explicacion de los cambios en el coeficiente de Gini. English Abstract: This paper analyses the income distribution in Colombia focusing in differences between departments and showing how every department has different explanations of inequality. In order to do that Gini coefficient is considered and its decomposition by sources of income is estimated from 2002 to 2015. The main result is that every department has different explanations of the income inequality, those heterogeneities are related with social, economic and occupational characteristics. In this research it is found that one of the most important source of income that explain the reduction of Gini coefficient is the non-labor income and the recent reduction in its participation and inequality.
